hot air balloons, Otto the helicopter act, pyrotechnics for the
night show, and possibly another B-1 fly-by. If all goes as

these are still tentative. Adult tickets have been increased to

 STEVE
EVANS is moving right along with preparing the tank for a
new paint job. He is using a air driven tool which chips off
the layers of paint without damaging the surface. It also
removes surface rust. Steve says, “This tool is great. It is
easy to use and does the job perfectly.” What would have
been a labor intensive task is suddenly easy and quick.
We’re looking forward to the new paint job soon.
