Cecil Field Airshow: Benefit for
Alan
Jacksonville, FL
Attendance Estimated over
30,000
This was a very
special show for us. Alan made his first appearance at an
airshow since before his accident, and he looked and sounded
great. The benefit show raised over $110,000 for his assistance
fund, with more reported to be on the way. All in all, a very
successful show.
Our heartfelt thanks to everyone
who attended and supported this unprecedented effort. Special
thanks to Bruce Turner and Bobbi Thompson for the organization
and execution of one of the best airshows in history. Well done!
