WE
DID IT! Saturday August 8, 2009 is one for the history books!
We
served 2400 free lunches, made about 200 flights and flew about 600
kids with disabilities and their family/friends, saw 200+ exhibitors
strut their stuff, listened to 3 awesome live bands and watched 8 other
performance groups, and generally had a grand old time!

Landings to All!
