Picking a day for your visit
RSI opens on Friday 13 November. If you are weighing a Constellation against something from Origin, the two manufacturers share Saturday 14 November on the calendar. Industrial pilots interested in both Argo and MISC should look at 19 November, where the two groups meet.
Aopoa, Banu, Esperia and Gatac share 21–22 November. Best in Show takes place on Sunday the 22nd. A manufacturer’s slot establishes when its IAE rentals are featured. Individual unannounced ships still need confirmation before you plan a visit around flying one.
