Midwest LSA Expo Mt. Vernon Airport, September 10 - 12.
Zenith Aircraft Open Houses, Airshow-Built Planes, And A Birthday
Zenith Aircraft held another of their open house events. At the Midwest LSA Expo a few weeks beforehand I asked factory pilot guru, Roger Dubbert how many people the company expected.
His answer: a rather amazing "700."
According to Zenith president Sebastien Heintz it was indeed another strong event, one they've repeated every year since setting up shop in Mexico, Missouri. "By all accounts and measurements, the 23rd annual Hangar Day was an incredible winner," summarized Sebastien.

Among the highlights of the two-day festivities was the arrival of EAA's two Zenith aircraft.
One was an EAA staff-built version of the CH 750 Cruzer (watch for our video pilot report to be posted soon) and the second was the One Week Wonder CH 750 that was completed during AirVenture with participation from over 2,500 people.
