Our first Air Expo was 2006, and it struck me as barely more than a regional pancake breakfast fly-in. It was dirty, disorganized, and nothing like we experienced on this trip. The Air Expo is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Light Sport Aviation community. I was impressed by how far they have come.
The Remos booth was outstanding, the best display we have ever had. We introduced the 2009 model GX, and I for one, am very excited. The '09 model still has all the great performance and handling qualities of the '08 GX, but with some refinements. It features new interior, including a headliner, and intrument panel. The elevator trim has been moved to a re-designed stick, and the biggest change is new landing gear with removable wheel pants.
Notice the interior.

The picture above, is just for those skeptical that Dave and I are ever in the same place at the same time.
There were more airplanes than Remos there, and here are a few that caught my eye.
Yes, the show was great, but now that we're back in the Missouri winter, my thoughts and anticipation are turning to Sun 'n Fun. Spring is just around the corner, time to brush up those piloting skills, and take to the skies. Why not road trip into St. Louis, or Atlanta, and take a demo ride in a Remos aircraft? We can get you into a new Remos in time for you to fly with us down to Sun 'n Fun, or participate in the first ever Remos Fly-in this June. You can be there, do that, and bring home the T-shirt.

I didn't think the first show was that bad. I do agree that every year has seen significant improvement.
Ok that plane with the wingtips that roll on the ground and the pilot straddling the exhaust stack just looks plain (no pun intended) dangerous - but fun!
