Air Sho:Day 2.....
Preparations for the Air Sho begin in earnest on Friday. In the morning a special show is held for handicapped persons from all over the region. A big undertaking in itself it takes a dedicated group of over 200 volunteers to run. For the main two day air show we have in excess of 800 volunteers!
My task for the day was to round up several pickup trucks donated by our local Ford dealer and to get these out to the airport and matched with their trailers. Job completed...then my faithful assistant and business partner Del and I got to enjoy lunch in our local chapters hangar and visit with friends I hadn't seen in ages. I also enjoy visiting with the active duty military personnel who have brought their aviation assets to the show...and in particular with the German, British and Australians. While in the museum I got to say a quick hell-o to Gen. Paul Tibbets of Enola Gay fame who was signing his autobiography. Got mine several years ago when he was here.
