There was a big LAFA turnout for
this year's Redlands natural Arts Festival at the Fruit & Spice Park in
Homestead. LAFA members Ron Andersen (Quicksilver), John Bubel (Fisher
Horizon II), Barry Hawkes (Kolb Firestar), Ricardo Martinez (Trike), and
Donald Dagenhart (Powered Parachute) brought a total of five planes
that remained on static display during both days of the show, plus one model
airplane courtesy of Alex Kinghorn.
At any
given point in time there were 25 or more LAFA members in or near the LAFA
displays. The yellow shirts seemed to be everywhere!.
Other LAFA planes flew overhead
at regular intervals to add a third dimension to our ground demonstrations.
Judging by
the number of people who were attracted to our toys, it was clear that our
presence was very appreciated.
While LAFA
members fielded hundreds of questions ranging from licensing requirements to
safety; costs and the upcoming Sport Pilot, young children had their
pictures taken by their parents in or around our planes.
