hmmmm a festival to commemorate the first year of flight... that would be interesting and fun to attend... anyone planning on going?
wonder if they'll have the blue devils out there or some acrobatic guys - I'll have to see if they have.... ok..already checked it out
these are the presenters:
-Ethel Finley (Women Airforce Service Pilots)
-Colonel Charles E. McGee (Tuskegee Airmen)
-Linda Morgan (set speed records in 1986 from Atlanta to Kitty Hawk and in 1996 from
-Asheville to Kitty Hawk)
-Wendie Olds (local author)
-Jack Frost (National Aeronautics)
-Richard Keyt (record holder of the world's fastest 4-cylinder airplane)
-Speakers from the Marshall Space Flight Center
-Robert B. and Beverly M. Elliot (program and demonstrations of toothpick airplanes)
and it looks like they'll have skydivers, narrated fly-by's and an actual re-creation of the wright brother's mobile in flight which would be just incredible to see!!
I think I'd go just to meet the tuskegee airmen guy - toothpick airplanes don't interest me that much! haha
would be a great event for young women too seeing that Ethel Finley and Linda Morgan will be there!!
