Zenith Aircraft Company's 16th annual OPEN HANGAR day is scheduled for Saturday, September 29, 2007, at the factory located at Mexico Memorial Airport in Mexico, Missouri. Aviation enthusiasts, especially builders and owners of Zenith Aircraft kit planes, are invited to drive or fly-in for the day.

The 20,000 sq.ft. Zenith Aircraft kit production facilities will be open for factory tours and Zenith's factory-demonstrator kit aircraft will be on display.  Company staff will demonstrate kit production and fabrication techniques used in producing the all-metal kit aircraft parts made at the Zenith Aircraft factory, and a new Zodiac XL Quick Build Kit will also be on display.

Inside the Zenith factory hundreds of builders and enthusiasts attended last year's Open Hangar Day in Mexico, Missouri. The gathering is an excellent opportunity for owners and builders of Zenith Aircraft kits to meet each other and to tour the Zenith Aircraft facilities, and numerous aircraft flew in from across the Midwest to attend the annual event, including antique and other kit aircraft designs.

Located in scenic mid-Missouri, all pilots and aviation enthusiasts are invited to drive or fly in to attend Zenith Aircraft Co.'s annual ‘Open Hangar and Fly-In’ day. For more information on attending, please call Zenith Aircraft at (573) 581-9000 or the Mexico Airport at (573) 581-0162.

Note: Zenith Aircraft Company has rescheduled the annual Open Hangar Day and Fly-In to September 29 from August 18 to allow for more flying activities.  August 18 is the date of the local Mexico Elks Air Show.
