The event is designed to appeal to everyone who has an interest in aviation.
The concept is to meet the needs of all aviators hopefully getting bigger and better this year ,also to get as many flyers of whatever aircraft to attend the event, as well as other contributors and to have a lot of fun.
We hope to have a variety of interesting aircraft large and small
