CAE SimuFlite proudly sponsors the annual CAE Horizons of Flight Aviation Art Exhibition and Competition, a juried aviation art show that was first held in 1993. It is one of only two non-military aviation art competitions and exhibitions in the United States.
The CAE Horizons of Flight was created to support aviation artists and to give the public an opportunity to view their work. Selected works are displayed at CAE SimuFlite's Dallas/Fort Worth training centre. In addition to the general public, the show is seen each week by hundreds of pilots and maintenance technicians who train at CAE SimuFlite.
Awards are presented to Best of Show ($1,000 cash and trophy) and to the work best depicting a business aviation theme ($500 and trophy). Awards of merit (trophy) are also presented.
This year's exhibition will be held January 31 through April 29, 2011. Information and a downloadable entry form for the 2011 can be accessed here.
