ViewTech Borescopes, a Traverse City based company, said in a press release published November 14, 2025 that it will display its VJ-4 articulating video borescopes at the National Agricultural Aviation Association Ag Aviation Expo in Reno beginning November 18. The release, distributed through Send2Press with a Traverse City dateline, describes the VJ-4 as an articulating video borescope designed for inspections and notes that expo attendees will have opportunities to trial the device at the show.
At its simplest, a video borescope is an inspection camera that allows technicians to see inside engines, airframes and other confined spaces without disassembly. ViewTech’s VJ-4 model emphasizes articulation which improves access and visual coverage during inspections. For the agricultural aviation sector, which relies on small aircraft and specialized spray equipment, more effective inspection tools can translate into faster maintenance cycles and potentially lower downtime for operators.
The company’s presence at a national trade event matters to Grand Traverse County because it signals outward momentum for local technology manufacturing. Trade show participation exposes ViewTech to potential customers, distributors and service partners from across the country, increasing the likelihood of new contracts or follow on business that could support local employment and supplier demand. The press release frames the Reno appearance as a demonstration and trial opportunity, a format that often helps buyers evaluate equipment performance in real time.
Local businesses that service aviation equipment or that supply parts and maintenance for agricultural operations may see indirect benefits if ViewTech converts expo exposure into sales. Greater demand for advanced inspection tools can ripple through local supply chains, from parts procurement to maintenance training. For a county with a mixed economy that includes tourism, agriculture and light manufacturing, business-to-business wins by Traverse City firms can help diversify the regional economic base.
The announcement also reflects broader technology trends in equipment maintenance where visual inspection tools are increasingly relied upon to improve safety and reduce repair costs. While the press release does not disclose sales figures or expected orders, it confirms that ViewTech will use the NAAA event to let industry professionals trial the VJ-4, an important step toward adoption in a sector where operational reliability is critical.
Residents and local businesses interested in ViewTech’s activity can follow company communications for any updates on sales, partnerships or local hiring that might follow from the company’s national trade show engagement. The original announcement was published November 14, 2025 by Send2Press with a Traverse City dateline.
