AeroSports Update: Sport Aviation In DeLand, FL

DeLand FL Establishes A New Home For Sport Aviation, And Their Ready To Show It Off

DeLand FL Sport Aviation Administrator Jana Filip officially introduced the DeLand Sport Aviation Village at EAA AirVenture 2016. We covered the event on Aero-News and now have more information about how their plan may advance sport aviation and recreational flying. It’s called the Sport Aviation Showcase.


As DeLand’s Sport Aviation Village comes to life, DeLand Airport Manager John Eiff and Jana Filip are busy planning DeLand’s first-ever Sport Aviation Showcase set for November 3-5, 2016. It’s being held immediately after the 2016 NBAA Convention in Orlando, Florida, to make it easy for industry and media to visit DeLand while they are already in the local area.

Designed to be small in nature, the 2016 Preview Showcase will offer people an opportunity to become familiar with the DeLand Airport and the community of DeLand. Jana said, “Our goal is to create an annual destination event for recreational aircraft enthusiasts from the U.S. and the world. DeLand is a progressive community offering a wide variety of social, cultural, and recreational activities along with a great climate, making it a wonderful location for sport aviation enthusiasts to visit or even call home.”

Jana added, “We invite prospective exhibitors to review the event site map. The 2016 event will welcome up to 40 indoor and 40 outdoor exhibitors, with electricity available to all indoor exhibitors.” In addition, forum and workshop facilities are also being established with full services, as well as the food vendor area. A separate entrance for exhibitors and media will make entry/exit from the event easy for those participants.

For visitors flying in to the event, under-wing camping will be available with portable toilets, and there will be a designated homebuilt parking area on the Showcase field.
