Deland Sport Aviation Showcase

Welcome to the show about learning to fly, living to fly, and loving to fly. Michael McLellan, Tom Frick, and Carl Valeri volunteered at the Deland Sport Aviation Showcase. The DeLand Showcase is an annual, three-day event focused entirely on recreational flying and sport aviation. Tom and Carl volunteered for Showcase Live for the second and third days while Michael spent the entire event as airshow announcer. 

More than one hundred exhibitors will be featuring all kinds of sport aircraft, ultralights, trikes, rotorcraft, powered parachutes and paragliders, engines, avionics, pilot gear, and flight schools.

The crew at Stuck Mic AvCast interviewed some of the vendors for Showcase live and these are the recordings from those live video interviews. Make sure you visit the Facebook and YouTube channel to view all of the video interviews from the crew at Showcase Live brought to you by Dave Shalbetter, Mik Daniels, Elisabeth Daniels, Roy Brewer, Tom Frick, and Carl Valeri.
