- Is was an honor and a privilege to be asked to perform at the EAA's AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin where we participated in the celebration activities of the 60th Anniversary of the North American T28 Trojan. The anniversary festivities including us flying as part of Wednesday's 22-ship special air show celebrating 60 years of T28 flying. It's always a pleasure to fly with aviators who love flying the T28 as much as we do. AirVenture was as exciting and fun as is advertised, and the anniversary celebration was a once in a lifetime experience.

- It was a busy weekend for us as Sunday saw the Trojan Phlyers demo team flying at the second airshow in as many days, but this time it was at our home airport, Mid-Way Regional, and we were the guests of Debby Standefer and the DFW Summer Balloon Classic. This was the first ever air show at Mid-Way, and it was part of a larger event, the DFW Balloon Classic, but since winds grounded balloon flying for most of the weekend we had a appreciative audience to perform for.

Keith Morris who persevered even through weather threatened to cancel the show. Rain fell up until the scheduled start of the air show, then stopped long enough for the flying acts to perform a "low show" for the die-hard fans who braved the weather.
