Thank You to Fly-In Volunteers

Now that the AAA/APM Annual Fly-in has concluded and we evaluate our successes as well as look for ways to improve next years event, I need to take a moment to thank all those volunteers that help make this event possible.

Most fly-in visitors would likely be surprised at the small number of volunteers that make this event run so smoothly. Their efforts and dedication to the AAA, the APM and the fly-in here at Antique Airfield are what make this event enjoyable for all the rest of you. If you know any of these people, be certain to offer them some well-deserved credos for their help in making the AAA/APM Fly-in a success.

So though I will endeavor to list all those fine folks whom gave of their time and talents I apologize in advance for anyone whom I might forget or accidentally omit.

Brent Taylor, Fly-in Chairman
Mike Gretz, APM President
