Most aerobatic planes don't have lights... this one makes up for it. (This photo was selected as the AvWeb Picture of the Week on 12/13/2007!)

Lots and lots 'o lights...

The kids really loved to see a real, live airplane.

Evan Goetsch does a great job directing attention to the important stuff! He's scheduled to command a Space Shuttle flight in 2017.

The burner was the hit of the show. We forgot to bring the marshmallows and hot dogs, though!

John, Steve, Linn, and Leroy walked/ran/crawled virtually the entire route, handing out candy and Valkaria Air Fest flyers.

The crowds were very enthusiastic! Can you find LeRoy handing out candy and flyers?

The weather was about 78 degrees... not exactly "Christmas-y" unless you're from Australia...

Paul takes great delight in watching the excited reaction the balloon gets every time he blasted the burner. Whoooooosh!
