The expo was held in the ProJet hangar. The periphery of the hangar held booths of several universities and flight schools, aviation organizations, several government agencies including FAA, TSA and Customs and Border Patrol, as well as some non-aviation private sector corporations. The Air Force, Coast Guard and Marines were also represented.
Static displays in the hangar included: Av-Ed’s C-172; Potomac Flight Training’s King Air; ProJet’s GulfStream G-5 and; Jim Kellett’s sailplane from the Skyline Soaring Club. A number of aircraft including helicopters and private jets were on the ramp in front of the hangar.
SSC’s booth was manned by Bob Jullien, Jim Kellett and, Spencer Annear. The booth was located between AOPA’s booth and the Warren County- Front Royal Airport booth, just off the wing tip of the sailplane. While participants circulated around the periphery many stopped to see the soaring video Jim played on his computer. Many stopped to ask about soaring and learning to soar. Spencer told a number of participants about SSEF’s program and gave out a lot of SSEF flyers.
