PROVIDENCE – May 5, 2025 – FlightSimExpo celebrates the role home flight simulation plays in pilot training, aviation proficiency, and aircraft design. The sixth annual event is coming to the Rhode Island Convention Center in downtown Providence on June 27-29, 2025.

FlightSimExpo Welcomes Patriot Aircraft

FlightSimExpo is excited to announce that Patriot Aircraft will be bringing their Super Patriot to the show! This bespoke, custom purpose-built adventure aircraft will be on display in the FlightSimExpo exhibit hall—and next to it will be a flight sim setup showcasing the virtual Super Patriot in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, created by flight sim developer Parallel 42.

“We’re thrilled to welcome our first real-world aircraft manufacturer to FlightSimExpo,” says Evan Reiter, show organizer and airline pilot who also uses home flight simulators. “Since the creation of the show, we’ve been working to close the gap between simulation and real-world flying. Having both the real and MSFS versions of the Super Patriot at the event represents a milestone achievement for this effort, and we’re very thankful to both Parallel 42 and Patriot Aircraft for making it possible!”

Edson Soriano, Managing Director of //42 said: "We don't just talk about realism; we bring it. At our booth (#412), you'll find the real Super Patriot Mark II parked next to its digital counterpart in MSFS 2024. Stop by and see how we're honoring the craftsmanship of this beautiful aircraft up close, inside and out. The Patriot team will also be on-site, ready to answer questions or share stories of the uncharted. We're stoked to be part of FlightSimExpo's mission to bring pilots and simmers under one roof with this unique experience!"
