The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has added two Aviator Showcase events to its 2021 programming. The first showcase is scheduled to take place at Manassas, Virginia’s Manassas Regional Airport (KHEF) on Aug. 27. The second will be held at Fort Worth Alliance Airport (KAFW) in Fort Worth, Texas, on Oct. 1.
“As has been the case with our past events, the AOPA Aviator Showcases will provide an excellent value and opportunity for aviation companies to interact with uniquely qualified audiences of the most engaged pilots,” said AOPA senior events and outreach director Chris Eads. “These events offer the chance to be in front of aircraft owners and pilots looking to buy.”

By EMERSON CLARRIDGE | The Fort Worth Star-Telegram | Published: January 15, 2021 FORT WORTH, Texas (Tribune News Service) When FBI special agents searched Larry Brock Jr. s Grapevine apartment, they found hanging in a closet a jacket with red markings that resembles one in a photo that he has acknowledged shows him on the U.S. Senate floor last week as the legislative body was to certify the Electoral College vote. In the trash was a patch, previously Velcroed to Brock s body armor, that shows the Punisher, a comic character that has become a symbol of vigilante justice. Brock had helpfully left on top of gun safes codes to access them, believing that law enforcement officers would want to open the empty containers.
