Homestead, Florida 6th & 7th November, 2010: In 2009 after a sixteen year absent from the South Florida region, the leadership at Homestead Air Reserve Base organized the successful return of a military type airshow. 2011 delivered to the public a bigger and better air event and showed as to how the leadership at the base and its many community sponsors coordinated and cooperated in making this year air event the best yet.
The 94th AeroClaims-Aviation Consultant Group (94th ACG) was a key supporter to the event, especially for the AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION (AFA).
Through their well established industry contacts with such organizations such as AAR and Sargent Avborne & Defense, the (94th ACG) brought top, world known aerospace companies to assist in raising well over US$6,000.00 for the Miami-Homestead AFA-317th Chapter, which allowed the Chapter to establish a V.I.P tent to included meals and refreshments for all V.I.P's who attended the air event.
Unfortunately, do to a scheduled Washington D.C. General Accounting Office (GAO) audit, the base will not be able to provide an air show in 2011, but rest assure that 2012 will see its return bigger and better and the (94th ACG) will be there to play a supporting role toward the AFA-317th Chapter and the leadership at Homestead Air Reserve Base.
