Default How *was* AOPA Expo?

Even though I live 20 minutes from HFD, I missed the show!

I saw the outside display Friday morning, but due to other commitments,
never got to the Convention Center. Last minute changes to my schedule
even caused me to miss my type club's lunch Friday afternoon.

I wasn't able to put together a R.A.P. get-together. If you expressed
interest in past weeks, you didn't miss it. G

So, how was it?


I went on Friday, and was impressed by the displays at the convention
center. The mockups of the PiperJet and CirrusJet were very cool. The
CirrusJet was a lot roomier than I thought and better looking in
person. Diamond's DA50 mockup was there - nice plane. Most impressive
were the static displays at the airport. There must have been 10
different Light Sport acft on display. The Eclipse 500 and ECJ were
there as was Cessna's Mustang. Wasn't expecting the warm temps in
October - mid-80's.
