speaker for the event will be AOPA President Craig Fuller. "We are
working very hard to make this event a huge success. In order to
make it an annual event, it must really take off the this first
year."

"The aviation community in the Southeast is very strong and we
expect a great turnout for the first show," said Joe Frasher.
Airport Director of the Greenville Downtown Airport. The event has
been marketed to many groups from high school guidance counselors
all the way to experienced pilots, and the organizers say it will
offer something for everyone interested in aviation. Education
sessions will be held throughout the day. Aviation enthusiasts can
learn how to become a pilot and experienced pilots can learn about
latest technology to include iPads in the cockpit.
"Michelin makes aircraft tires worldwide, including the Carolinas.
We market these tires all over the world for all segments of
aviation including the Commercial, Military and Regional markets as
well as for General Aviation aircraft," said Keat Pruszenski, a
Manager of Customer Support Engineering for Michelin Aircraft Tire
Company. "As far as I know, we haven't had an aviation show this
big in our region. The Upstate of South Carolina, and really all of
the Southeastern part of the United States, has many aviation
companies, as well as active aircraft enthusiasts. It just seems
perfect for us to now have an aviation trade show in this region.
We look forward to the opportunity to participate in the First Ever
Southeast Aviation Show."
