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!
