Held at Hangar 2, Yankee Air Museum, Belleville, Michigan

Now that flying season is coming to a close, it's time to thank Norm Ellickson and the crew chiefs, mechanics, booking people, and pilots who have made this another successful and safe season. It's also time to thank Jim Redick and his Ramp Crew, the men who safely and efficiently guide the magnificent and irreplaceable aircraft in and out of our historic airport. We couldn't do it without you.
