WINGS OF VICTORY AIRSHOW
THE HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT
SQUADRON HAS LAUNCHED PRELIMINARY COMMITTEES TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY
OF THIS YEARS SHOW
President
Speedy has charged several chairs with doing early work in order to make
a better choice as to whether to do the show this year. After
substantial losses last year, the question was raised as to the risk of
destroying the squadron was worth it. Airshows have rarely made money.
Sponsorships are key to whether we brake even or not. It was determined
at the March 3rd meeting to proceed and make a final decision in May.

Pat
Ferguson has offered $10,000 to the squadron for use in the
event of shortages caused by airshow losses. He has
requested the ambulance be collateral in return for the
$10.000. If the money is returned to Pat within 6 months the
Squadron will retain ownership of the ambulance. |

Membership meetings will be held on the 3rd Saturday at 2:00 pm

meetings or will be scheduled as circumstances require them for
