The Tampa Bay Aviation Association organizes the event and aims to educate the attendees about how the aviation industry and other modes of transportation work.

“This is an event that is truly for everyone of all ages. Personally, I loved the wide display of different operating train models and the aircraft. The interaction was entertaining and informative with an endless number of displays and booths!” Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Amanda Holly said.

Some hands-on activities include:

  • Flight simulators
  • STEM exhibits from Sun ‘n Fun’s Aerospace Center for Excellence
  • Young Eagles discovery flights conducted by the Plant City Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 1178
