Orlando Rolling Out the Red Carpet for NBAA 2014
This year’s NBAA Convention in Orlando celebrates business aviation’s heroes and the latest and greatest information and products.
NBAA organizers expect approximately 100 aircraft on static display at Showalter during the convention. The Orange County Convention Center will serve as home to a second static display of light business aircraft and helicopters.

At last year’s NBAA show, whatever good news could be unearthed about business aviation was dampened by the dismal impact of the government sequestration, effects of which are still evident. While the political machinations emanating from Washington, D.C., this year seem to have abated somewhat, there is still a threat of a government shutdown, but so far, at least, there have been no big eruptions of user fee proposals to mar this year’s show. Attacks on business aviation seem to have abated, too, perhaps because the government has more important items on its agenda. Meanwhile, there are signs that some significant announcements are percolating in preparation for when NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition opens in Orlando on October 21.
