This was our sixth year (and first postponement due to weather) on September 10, 2016! The event was held Saturday, October 08, 2016 to raise funds for the Wright Flight Program of the Tailwind Aviation Foundation. 37 pilots and passengers in 16 planes, along with 27 volunteers, 21 sponsors and donors and 5 airports came together to raise over $9,000 for the program. Check out these awesome pictures from Trina Wade.
