Thank you to Linda Olson for the images and information!
On Nov. 16, auxiliary members participated in the Forgotten Coast Freedom Festival at Apalachicola Airport. Members in attendance included Scott Hausmann, Curtis Lox, Normal and Phil Hill, Doug Ritchie, Casey Shooting, Emory Smith and Wade and Linda Olson.
Throughout the day, auxiliarists got to engage with the attendees and others there to support the event.
The festival, a salute to veterans, included military aircraft, a car show, live music,
EAA Flyin, Free Young Eagle Flight reservations and the opportunity to take a ride in a Vietnam era Huey Helicopter!
A good time was had by all!
As Sherrie says, safe boating is no accident!
