If you missed HAI Heli-Expo 2016 in Louisville, Ky. — or weren’t able to make it all the way around the Kentucky Exposition Center, you can enjoy all the sights and sounds through our Heli-Expo wrap-up video (above).
The rotorcraft industry’s largest annual show, which is traditionally held in the warmer climes of cities much further south (and with easier access), was making its first appearance in Louisville — and the choice of location was one of the main talking points at the show. However, while final official attendance and exhibitor numbers are currently unavailable, HAI said pre-show figures were tracking ahead of the previous year’s edition in Orlando, Fla., and predicted about 700 exhibitors, 20,000 attendees, and over 60 helicopters on display.
In addition to the trade show itself, which covered nearly one million square feet of the Kentucky Exposition Center, attendees had the opportunity to attend more than 100 educational sessions, including instructional courses, seminars, technical briefings, workshops and forums.
