Something you won't want to miss:
Air Zoo news........
On September 13, visitors to the Air Zoo will be given a special treat: flight demonstrations of several aircraft, including many that made a significant impact during World War II. These aircraft will include a Corsair, T-6, T-28, BT-13 and a Stearman. Other aircraft may also be added for the event. The demonstration is the last installment of the Air Zoo’s “Plane of the Month Series” for 2008.
Many of the aircraft were used as trainers to teach pilots how to fly aircraft during World War II.
“We are all keeping our fingers crossed for perfect weather because this final flying event of the 2008 season will be reminiscent of the great Warbird Weekends that the Air Zoo was so well known for,” says Bob Ellis, executive director of the Air Zoo.
The program—which will begin at 10 a.m. and end at approximately 3 p.m.—will start with a discussion of the aircraft by the pilots followed by a question-and-answer session and finish with flight demonstrations of each aircraft (weather permitting).
“While less structured than the Warbird Weekends, this event will be filled with the sounds and smells of days gone by. You won’t want to miss it,” says Ellis.

A great time was had by all at the family birthday/anniversary party held here yesterday. We enjoyed cake, ice cream, and other goodies. As a matter of fact, we ended up with enough leftovers for everyone to take home.
