Located adjacent to the North 40 Admissions Gate and tram stop, the Aspen Avionics Welcome Center is the place to cool off, rehydrate, and visit with fellow pilots.

It’s also an excellent place to learn more about Aspen’s Evolution flight display system, an affordable, expandable, and upgradable primary flight display, multifunction display, and hazard sensor cockpit solution for general aviation aircraft.

“The North 40 is truly the heart of AirVenture,” said Brad Hayden, Aspen’s vice president of marketing. “It’s important for us as a company to find ways to be closer to our customers and foster a feeling of community.

“Partnering with the EAA to create the North 40 Welcome Center has been a great way to do this.”

This year’s expanded partnership with the EAA will bring some additional creature comforts to the camping area, including an EAA merchandise tent, wireless Internet, e-mail kiosks, and picnic tables. The Aspen tent will also have available an XM weather station and a Jeppesen flight-planning kiosk.

Several customer aircraft, along with the Diamond DA40 of Aspen President John Uczekaj, will also be on display for visitors to see examples of the Evolution flight display system in action.

The Aspen Avionics North 40 Welcome Center opened Saturday, July 24, and will close at the end of the show on Sunday, August 1.
