Zenith Aircraft Holds Annual Homecoming Open Hangar Days and Fly-In

By Carmelo Turdo

Zenith Aircraft held their 32nd Annual Homecoming Open Hangar Days and Fly-In event on September 15-16 at Mexico, MO Memorial Airport. Zenith aircraft owners from around the country gathered to share their experiences and learn more about their specific aircraft model from factory specialists and fellow builders. From the low-wing Zodiac to the high-wing Cruzer and STOL variants, there was something for everyone.  

The Aero Experience visited the Zenith Aircraft factory on Friday morning, and here we present an overview of the hangar activity and aircraft on display. Product exhibitors were arranged inside the hangar, and Zenith aircraft owners attended a series of discussions covering various topics on building and flying their aircraft. The aircraft featured in our selection below illustrate why Zenith is the most popular brand of light sport aircraft in the U.S.
