FREDERICK, Md., Feb. 2, 2021—As part of its new 2021 events programming, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has released plans for two 2021 Aviator Showcase events. Each showcase will be a single-day event designed to provide new product and aircraft information to pilots, aircraft owners, and prospective buyers.

The Aviator Showcases will be held in Manassas, Virginia (Aug. 27) and Fort Worth, Texas (Oct. 1). The events will be an opportunity for pilots to explore exhibits and new aircraft displays, and a chance for aviation companies to showcase their latest gear. 

“As has been the case with our past events, the AOPA Aviator Showcases will provide an excellent value and opportunity for aviation companies to interact with uniquely qualified audiences of the most engaged pilots,” said Chris Eads, AOPA Senior Director of Events and Outreach. “These events offer the chance to be in front of aircraft owners and pilots looking to buy.”
