This FREE annual (since 2004) event showcasing Experimental / Amateur-Built Aircraft
(also called "homebuilt"), also offers many seminars for pilots, builders, and just for interest.

This FREE event (but come hungry to help support our expenses) offers you the opportunity to:
1) See experimental aircraft (also known as homebuilt from a kit or plans) which are built under the FAA category of Experimental / Amateur-Built or E/A-B).
Learn more
2) Attend/participate in several free seminars and workshops. These may include hands-on how to build an aircraft, aviation safety, and many other topics.
