at hangar 44 at the Winchester Regional Airport. Please come to the gate at the On July 18, Charlie Kulp—a.k.a. “The Flying
Farmer” and Flying Circus founder—will emerge from retirement to
fly one last special show. Now a non-profit foundation, the Circus is hosting
the performance as a kickoff fundraiser to begin construction of a new hangar
to become the museum’s home. When completed, it will house a permanent
collection of aviation artifacts and documents, temporary educational
exhibits, and aircraft active in the Circus shows. The estimated cost is $500,000.
The gates for the July 18 event open at
11 a.m. Kulp’s performance will begin at 3:30 p.m. Admission is $10 for
adults and $3 for children ages 3 through 12. All money collected goes to the
Hangar/Museum Fund. Additional donations can be made at the gate, snack bar,
and gift shop. Ralph and
Laura Hoover suggested that the above be considered for our annual Chapter
Outing. The consensus at the last
meeting was to have a picnic at the event, rather than a cook-out, with
members bringing cold dishes and sandwiches. Further details will be arranged at
the upcoming meeting. Here are a
couple of numbers in case you need to reach someone. Rick Shoup
