Members of Florida’s business aviation community, along with students at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and other colleges throughout the state, are invited to visit the exhibits and static displays at the Orange County Convention Center and Orlando Executive Airport free of charge on Nov. 1. These visitors also are encouraged to attend the day's career-oriented programming, including a keynote address by Barrington Irving, the first African American and the youngest person to fly solo around the world.
