If you’re a Southern California pilot considering buying a new airplane or just want to check out the latest and greatest light airplanes on the market, here’s an event for you. The U.S. Aircraft Expo is set to land at the McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ) in Carlsbad, California. This aircraft ownership convention will take place at Western Flight on May 4 and 5.

In addition to sales reps from light jet, turboprop, piston and LSA aircraft manufacturers and dealers, the event will include representatives from aircraft financing, insurance and tax consultant firms. There will also be an ownership seminar that will focus on questions about purchasing and owning an airplane.

This is the second in a series of seven events of its kind around the country. The U.S. Aviation Expo will move to Salt Lake City in June, Denver in July, Seattle in August, Santa Ana, California, in September and Scottsdale, Arizona, in November.
