2024 Midwest Aviation Expo: Thursday - Opening Day Exhibitors

By Carmelo Turdo
The Sixteenth Annual Midwest LSA Expo, now known as the Midwest Aviation Expo, was held September 5-7 at Mount Vernon, IL Outland Airport. A variety of light sport aircraft brands were on exhibit, including the Bristell 912 and the Tomark Aero Viper provided by our sponsor, Piston Aviation.

Mount Vernon Outland Airport is a great venue for the Midwest Aviation Expo, offering a central location, plenty of apron space for exhibitors and fly-ins, a favorite restaurant and a friendly corps of volunteers who make everyone feel welcome. The Aero Experience coverage continues with the opening day exhibits and demo flights.
