The Airfest was a huge success. Lots of aircraft displays from WW I and WW II as well as civilian
planes from both eras. We had military parachute jumpers and a number of very cool
jet fly-bys and aerial demonstrations. There were a number of vintage aircraft, both civilian and  military.
We did solar observing but were not fortunate to get any sun spots that day.
