The Flying Show Expo 2016

About The Flying Show Expo 2016

Channel 31 newcomer “The Flying Show” is hosting a first of its kind indoor aviation expo this October, after significant community interest in both the show and its offerings of Australian grown aviation to audiences ranging from newcomers to veteran enthusiasts.

The show will be held at the Melbourne Showgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, October 22nd and 23rd and is open to all visitors.

Carlos Balmaceda, the shows founder and host, says that he hopes to attract members of the public across all interests to get involved with aviation and learn more about Australian Aviation and flying in general.

“They love the fact that there are so many different types of flying contraptions that can fit into the everyday car. They also find the history behind the aircraft featured on the show to be of great interest. We hope to introduce the general public to early aviation and how affordable and safe it is.” He said.

The show has already signed a number of exclusive exhibits, including John Delaney’s Wright Brothers Flyer replica project, praised by USA enthusiasts and experts as one of the best existing flying replicas, and built using schematics provided by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

In keeping with the shows interests in all things aviation, unique and alternative aviation exhibits from companies, associations, clubs and hobbyist groups across Australia will feature at the expo.

Everyone who attends the expo will also have the opportunity to enter for the chance to win a number of prizes courtesy of The Flying Show and fellow exhibitors.
