Simsbury Fly-in 9/25/2005

Royal Griffin wrote in to point out the 2005 Simsbury Airport fly-in and to ask for volunteers to help.

This year's Simsbury Airport (4B9) FLY-IN on Sunday Sept 25th promises to be our best yet. Every year we have expanded our activities, improved the food service, and brought in more airplanes. Last year over 5,000 attended , making the Simsbury Fly-In the largest in the Northeast. However, as a flying club we simply cannot do this within our own membership. We need your help as a volunteer for part, or all of the day. Over 100 volunteers are needed to fill our fly-in workforce. Will you help? For planning purposes, we need to hear from you by Sept 1st !!!
