Has anyone hit any of the stops on this tour and care to share your experience? https://www.usaircraftexpo.com/I was thinking of going to the Raleigh stop next month with my wife so we can poke around a few different models. Seems like the “boat show” for airplanes, which sounds like fun. Cheers, Brad Hescock

Brad, I went to the one in Seattle at Boing Field. The ABS Service Clinic happened to be at AvStar in Puyallup that same weekend. There were a lot of jets there. Cirrus had an SR22T and their jet, Piper had an M600, there was a new Cessna single and a DA62. Lots of turbines and business jets. I think an Icon too. Nice seeing the airplanes, but I wouldn't make a special trip to go to the expo alone. As a warning, if you're considering buying a new airplane, seeing them in person may make you pull the trigger!

Thanks for the feedback. It seems like a good way to check out a bunch of different airframes.

I went to the one at White Plains a couple of weeks ago. There were fewer planes there than 2 years ago. There was a good side presentation put on by the Westchester Aviation Assn about acquisition and ownership.
I think the best way to make use of a show like this is to decide what you're interested in before you go, make sure that what you want to look at is there, and have a list of specific questions for the sales/demo people.
It's fun just to poke around new airplanes, but more fun to get specific info and try things on for size.

As of four months ago, Textron-beech, Cessna and Embraer had made a decision to skip the expo this year—maybe that has changed. The west coast show was missing the citation M2, phenoms, and King Airs/Baron. Hopefully they will be back soon.
The others were well represented. The PC24 is impressive up close. Cirrus, Epic, and icon were getting most of the attention from the crowds.
