Ron,
?
Following up on our discussion regarding an RV formation flyover on Sunday, I would greatly appreciate any information you can share. As discussed, I will be making some posts online, and will probably share with Claycord, about the fly over in order to provide advance notice to the community.
?
Additionally, if you have any information regarding a military flyover that is suppose to happen on Monday, Memorial Day, that would also be appreciated.
?
Thank you,
?
