U.S. Aircraft Expo Comes to Salt Lake City

A wide variety of airplanes will be displayed at the US Aircraft Expo this weekend. US Aircraft Expo

Pilots and aircraft operators who are considering purchasing an airplane now or in the future will have an opportunity this weekend to experience first-hand a large gathering of new airplane manufacturers at the Keystone Aviation facility at the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC).

The event will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. MDT on Friday and Saturday, June 22 and 23. Aircraft manufacturers such as Textron Aviation, Piper, Quest, Honda Aircraft, Pilatus, Cub Crafters and more will be on hand to show off their airplanes. You’ll be able to take an intimate look at anything from two-seat backcountry taildraggers to turboprops and business jets.

In addition to meeting with representatives from attendees can learn more about aircraft insurance, financing and tax considerations. An ownership conference, for which you can register here, will take place on Friday at 1 pm.

If SLC is beyond your desired traveling range, there will be several additional opportunities this year to attend a U.S. Aircraft Expo. The next event will take place at the Centennial Airport (APA) in Denver, Colorado, on July 12 to 13, followed by Boeing Field (BFI) in Seattle on August 17 to 18; Santa Ana, California (SNA), on September 7 to 8; and Scottsdale, Arizona (SDL), on November 9 to 10.
