SUPPORT AND LEARN MORE AT THE SPAGHETTI DINNER ON SATURDAY

Flight Expo, Inc. believes that by increasing the exposure of aircraft to kids at an early age, is the key to helping meet those needs. I mean seriously....how many little kids love airplanes? I don't remember ever learning anything about airplanes in school. Wouldn't it be neat to help your kids learn something they love, that they may not see exposure to again until they're adults? Without programs like this, that could be the reality.

This coming Saturday, January 25th at the Princeton VFW, you can bring your kids that love airplanes, and help in the mission by attending the spahgetti dinner from 4-8 pm.
