The National Short Take Off & Landing Competition (STOL) Series is expanding with seven new event locations to the 2023 lineup, the organization announced.

This year's season launches March 17 and 18 with the 3rd Annual Swamp STOL Competition & Fly-In at the Jennings Airport (3R7) in Jennings, Louisiana. "Known for its southern charm, Cajun flair, and local musical talent, Swamp STOL has fast become both a competitor and fan favorite," National STOL said in a statement.

The Isle Fly-In in Minnesota and the Georgia STOL, are also new this year, the organization said, adding that a mid-Atlantic event and a Nashville, Tennessee event were also in "early planning phases."
