BLACK AIR FOUNDATION PARTICIPATES in the 4th Annual General Aviation Fun Day

Saturday, May 22, 2010

2010's 4th Annual General Aviation Fun Day was our most successful event to date!! The event was held from 10 AM - 4 PM at the New Bedford Regional Airport (KEWB). As always, there was something for everyone with static aircraft displays, flight demonstrations, food, and more.

The Buttonwood Zoo Choo was in attendance to give the kids a ride! A Helicopter Golf Ball Drop was held with prizes of up to $500. Tuskegee Airman, Mr. George S. Lima also attended the event. Airplane and helicopter rides were provided to the public for a small fee. The New Bedford Police K-9 unit was here doing demonstrations, as well as the New Bedford Fire Department’s Crash Truck. Flight Simulators were available for public use throughout the day. This event was co-hosted by the Atlantic Aviators Chapter of Women in Aviation, International, the New Bedford Regional Pilot’s Association, and the New Bedford Regional Airport. As always, admission was FREE but donations were welcome. Proceeds for this event helped benefit the Atlantic Aviators Scholarship Fund for area students interested in perusing aviation-related careers.
