Once again, members of the Van Aire Skyport board of directors and other community volunteers came together to successfully orchestrate the 34th Annual Van Aire Skyport Fly-in and Picnic, on Saturday, September 28th. Special thanks go to directors Maureen Bendure and Carl “Buddy” Goeritz for their herculean efforts to provide burgers, brats, and liquid refreshments for all attendees. Additional kudos to Mandy Donovan for her work helping Maureen, and Dan and Kathy Metz for their yeoman work in providing condiments, cooking tools, and cooking skills. More special thanks to Tom Peraro, Brandon Jewett, Don Watkins, and Buddy Goeritz for organizing and orchestrating a flag raising ceremony accompanied by the National Anthem, and concluded by a multi-ship flyover complete with smoke.

APOLOGIES!!! I must issue a revision to my previously issued post. Due to stupidity on my part, I failed to include Jim Baker in the list of individuals who organized and implemented the excellent four-ship flyover for our flag raising ceremony yesterday. I offer my profound apologies to Jim for my error. - Charles
