A huge thank you goes to every member who helped make our event a huge success. Bill Clontz, Tom Carlyle, Troy Whitted, Mark Marshall, Dave Miller, Jerry Morgan and Rege Hall did a great job of getting donations . Jerry Morgan and Cindy Morgan for arranging the lunch and Jaymee Hall and Barb Dohm for helping out serve the approximate 150 meals. John Louden manned the micro phone all day and kept the spectators apprised of what was going on and entertained. John Edwards and Kathy Carlyle manned the raffle sales all day, there were a lot of raffle tickets sold! We had tons of raffle items to give away all day. And then there was Warren Estep, he spent his entire day giving trainer introductory flights. The only time he was not on the flight line was when he was running back to the clubhouse for another charged battery. I wished I would have been counting the number of flights his Apprentice 15E made!

Right after the flag raising and national anthem with the Danville Boy Scouts Troop performing our flag raising again this year, John declared we needed an aircraft in the air at all times until the end of the event. Pilots listened. We had a great variety of aircraft, from micros to 40% aerobatic aircraft. We had trainers flying, rc skydivers, gliders, helicopters, quad copters, aerobatic planes of all sizes, foamies, Cubs and many warbirds of various sizes. Below are pictures from my camera, along with photographic help from John Louden, Dave Miller and Bryan Baumer. Scott Black posted pictures on his website, with the link noted below. If you have pictures to share, please send them to me.
