Aerospace Missions Corporation Participates at Farnborough International Air Show

When the Farnborough International Airshow 2010 kicks off today, July 19, 2010 in Farnborough, England, local Research and Development company, Aerospace Missions Corporation (ASMC), will be among the more than 1,400 exhibitors expected to be part of this biannual international event.  Held at the FIVE (Farnborough International Venue and Events) 4,000 sq. meter permanent venue and 10,000 sq. meter site, the Farnborough International Airshow which this year runs from July 19 to 25, 2010 is recognized as one of the most iconic global aviation events.  The first five days of the event are generally considered “trade” days, with the final weekend open to the general public.  More than 150,000 weekend spectators are expected to close out the 2010 event.

“This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with other aerospace companies on an international level and therefore allows us to gain better insight into what’s happening in the aerospace industry not just at the national level, but globally,” stated ASMC President and CEO Rick Morgan.  “If we want to be competitive at the international level, it’s important for us to be there.  We look forward to an exciting week at the Show and to exploring new potential opportunities and partnerships once we’re there.”

Aerospace Missions Corporation will be attending the event as part of the Georgia Delegation at the Farnborough International Airshow, coordinated by the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD).  Georgia ranks as one of the top five U.S. states in aerospace exports to the United Kingdom.

Jim Lomis, Chairman of the St. Marys Downtown Development Authority, said “ASMC’s participation in the Farnborough International Airshow creates a unique opportunity to share St. Marys, Georgia with the rest of the world.  ASMC chose to locate in our great town and we hope that others will follow once they learn more about us.”
