Hello everyone,
A request was made in another thread regarding the expected visitors to Vintage Wings for their open house this Saturday. I thought this deserved it's own thread.
I am including the list of attendees below.
Remember... THIS IS NOT AN AIRSHOW. Vintage Wings has a number of friends who like to visit during the open house events with their aircraft. There are no sheduled performances, although there may be some practice/maintenance flights, etc. This is not a tongue-in-check statement. If the weather is not good, or crowds don't cooperate (this started to become a problem last year) operations may be restricted. There is only so much that can be done in an open house setting as we are not set-up for airshow style exhibits. Having said that Vintage Wings looks forward to you visiting if you can and hopes you enjoy the day (10 AM - 2 PM).
Regards,
Mike Henniger
