Plans are now in full force for Wings and Wheels 2001. The big day will be Saturday, September 29, 2001, at Hummel Air Field in beautiful downtown Topping, Virginia. We will be honoring the Civil Air Patrol this year and many items are scheduled to be on display for your enjoyment.
A band, drill team, and color guard will be demonstrating their skills. There will also be a vintage air craft as well as many historical items. The Remax hotair balloon will be there, weather permitting, as well as all types of air craft, helicopters, and antique and specialty cars. The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary from Milford Haven, Virginia, will be represented with several of their boats and displays.
"Coasty", a remote control vessel, will also be present as well as the presence of one of their helicopters. The Rappahannock Rifle and Pistol Club will have an educational display as well as many other fine organizations and clubs. The Gloucester High School electric car will also be a main feature this year.
A new addition this year will be the exhibit of several old tractors and steam engines. PLEASE TAKE NOTE ... THE RUNWAY WILL BE CLOSED FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 90 MINUTES, BEGINNING AT NOON. There will be several demonstrations during that time period, including a CLT by the Civil Air Patrol and a special run of a Casey racing bike.
