When Mr. Piper introduced the Piper Cub in 1937, he had a dream. He felt that everyone should fly. And he believed that Piper could provide everyone with that freedom. 130,000 aircraft later, that dream lives on. Today, Piper Aircraft is the only general aviation manufacturer to offer a complete line of aircraft. From rugged, reliable trainers to a high-performance turboprop, from student pilot to experienced aviator Piper creates the freedom of flight for everyone.

I had a great time checking out all the jets on display. Some are available for purchase now, and some are still concepts. Price range per plane, $5 Million - $100 Million+. Some of the ones that stood out the most were from Embraer, Lufthansa Group, Airbus and Falcon Aviation. Simply beautiful.
If you have never attended NBAA before, I highly suggest you go at least once. Pilots, flight attendants, aviation students, engineers and fans of the industry would definitely appreciate seeing the biggest aviation companies displaying their air crafts. It's hard not to be awed by these beautiful machines.
I wasn't sure what this was, but I had to take a picture of it.
It doesn't matter what industry you're in, when you're on the trade show
floor, it's about attracting buyers and attendees to your space.
Obviously it worked for World Fuel, their exhibit stayed busy with people.

Here are some highlights from the fashion show that included maternity wear, baby carriers, diaper bags, sarongs, children's wear, toys and nutrition:
It seems that the trend for kids products and apparel are all about being green and organic. There were quite a few products in the market that have these initiatives. Here are some of those brands that stood out at the show:
Apple Park was founded in San Francisco with
a vision to create environmentally responsible
and luxurious products for babies and children.
Apple Park's Picnic Pals were inspired by
classic children's toys, reinvented with
the finest eco-friendly materials available.
Finn+Emma toys and apparel are made from
100% G.O.T.S. certified organic cotton and eco-friendly
dyes. Our toys are hand-knit or made from untreated
wood. On top of that, they are manufactured in
fair-trade settings that focus on social and economic
independence for local people, women especially,
who love style as much as sustainability

as part of the solution for a more sustainable world.

"When I became a mom, I finally became

and to give all children a better, safer start."

I have to highlight a couple more entrepreneurs that I met at the show. I love to hear stories on how these entrepreneurs start their business. If you follow my blog, you know I have a soft spot for entrepreneurs:
I had the chance to speak to Alex Leach, the
inspiration for the reason that his Mom,
Jamie Leach started the Leach Co. 20yrs
later, this company is 1 of the leading makers
of products that make motherhood better.
Sit 'n Secure is the newest version of the original
product that inspired the birth of Leach Co.
I love that this company is still a growing
family business, inventing really smart products
for moms and moms-to-be.
