Though winter has not truly gotten under way, we are, nonetheless, busy trying to arrange our airshow schedule. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy some well needed time off, but the "itch to pitch" is already starting . . .

This year, to our dismay, some of our favorite acts have retired.

The Red Baron Pizza Squadron has "cooked" its last slice. Those "pies" in the skies will no longer be delivering their spicy aerobatics.

OTTO, the blue-eyed, balloon blowing helicopter will be hovering no longer.

Three pilots from the USAF Heritage Flight have celebrated their last anniversary.

The Flying Farmer finally "bought the farm," so to speak. His retirement, on his 82nd birthday, may quell the stress levels so many audiences incurred from his zany act.

And "Goodnight, sweet Prince," is bid to the F-117 Nighthawk; it already "flew the coop" in its last demonstration.

Though "out with the old, and in with the new" can be bittersweet, we, nonetheless look skyward in celebrated awe at man's uncanny ability to soar!

Happy New Year!

2008 is going to be a great year! Though our air show schedule has not yet been established, I just know it is going to be sensational.

Airborn is pretty excited about our brand new web-site that will soon be published. It will feature ALL of our products in sizes small through 3 extra-large - with the availablity of some of our designs in 4X.

It will also feature some pretty dramatic photos taken by Warren and by you. If you have a photo that you would like to share, please let us know. We also plan on using pictures of you wearing our product. So, do make sure that you wear our classic designs when you venture out to the shows.

Until I next write, we would like to extend our wishes to you and yours for a wonderful New Year!
