Northwest Aviation Conference 2026 Recap: Connecting with Pilots in Puyallup

We had an incredible time at the 2026 Northwest Aviation Conference and Trade Show in Puyallup, Washington on February 21 and 22.

These events are always a highlight for us, but this one was especially memorable. Over two packed days, we had the chance to connect with pilots, students, flight instructors, and aviation enthusiasts from all over the region.

One of the best parts of being at events like this is getting the opportunity to hear directly from pilots about what they are using, what challenges they are facing, and what they wish existed helps shape everything we build at Hobbs Flyer. A lot of our product ideas come straight from these interactions, and this show was no exception.

Beyond the booth, it was great to meet fellow vendors and see the innovation happening across the industry. From avionics to training solutions to aircraft displays, there was no shortage of inspiration. It is always a reminder of how strong and passionate the aviation community is.

To everyone who stopped by our booth, thank you. We enjoyed every conversation and every story shared.

We are already looking forward to next year and doing it all over again.

Until then, we will keep building gear designed by pilots, for pilots.
