Detail
The 2nd Annual MODAERO Aviation Festival will be held June 2-4th, 2017 at the Conroe-North Houston Regional Airport (KCXO) in Conroe, TX. The event is a national fly-in that targets the growing Millennial demographic, which according to FAA records accounts for more than 48% of all Certificated Pilots and 78% of Student Pilots.
Events at the 1st Annual Festival included an Aviation Career Fair, Fly-in, Educational Presentations, Static Aircraft Displays, Drone Races, Live Music and keynote speaker Sean D. Tucker. “We are definitely raising the bar for 2017,” said Columbus. “This upcoming year we will be based on the flight line, offer demo rides and have our first Air Show activities. We’ve taken the feedback from our commercial partners, sponsors and attendees, so we’re very confident that we are developing a show that will be eagerly anticipated.”
The MODAERO Aviation Festival’s goal is to showcase innovative aerospace content, attract a wider segment of the general public and grow the festival into the marquis general aviation event in Texas. Located just 40 minutes north of Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, KCXO offers an ideal venue to draw tens of thousands to the unique event.
The organization uses this annual event to raise funds for year-round aviation outreach efforts. “We are developing a number of initiatives for 2017 to help raise awareness of general aviation, encourage STEM education and grow the #NextGen community of Aerospace in Texas and throughout the country. We are also looking for collaborative partners in pursuing a similar mission,” said Columbus.
