Eurocopter AS-350 AStar (N974HP)

This annual event is always an outstanding day at KTRK. Seeing so many parents with their children enjoying the world of aviation is especially heartwarming. The young kids have a fantastic time. And perhaps best of all, admission to the entire event is FREE (as in "No Charge") which means that young parents who are often on limited budgets can bring their children to be around a huge variety of aircraft and watch air show performances all day for no more $$ than the price of a couple gallons of gas in their family car. The organizers of this event; along with the aircraft owners, military & civilian government agencies / personnel, private corporations, and aviation performers who participate in it; all deserve recognition for promoting 1) family togetherness and 2) the many aspects of the world of aviation.

Howdy, T. I don't have a Facebook account (or ANY of those goofy type accounts ... what's that other one? "Twit" or something like that?), and I'm not certain but I think a person has to "join" Facebook in order to post on it. Anyway, TYVM for the comment / compli. (Thumbs up)

No Prob Gman, I have a FB front page only - minimal data, and on;y use it for the SFO Airline Collectible Show to help with the show sets ups and communication with those interested- otherwise I don't use FB either except to post CA Northern CHP photos to there page.
