Welcome to a special edition of the Stuck Mic AvCast. Carl attended the US Sport Aviation Expo 2018 in Sebring, FL. This four day event is what Carl describes as “where aviation begins because we all start flying in small light aircraft”.

With many hours of interviews we decided to try something new and publish a daily show from Sebring. We wanted you to experience all the exciting new aircraft, equipment, and inspirational people who participated in the expo. We hope you enjoy the show and would appreciate your feedback if you would like to see more daily editions at future aviation events.

The first day of the event was on Wednesday and it was truly a fun day with many vendors saying this is the best show they have had so far. Don’t forget to visit the show notes and click on all the links mentioned in this show.
