WWAM Attends FEDEX Family Day at LAX

Thanks to Cindy Macha (Director for the Western Museum of Flight) for arranging for WWAM to provide static aircraft for the annual FEDEX Family Day at their LAX Maintenance Facility. Larry Bierma flew up in his T-34 with our C-45, and Jon Goldenbaum (Poly Fiber) brought over Miss Flabob (DC-3) to the event. Over 1300 family members were in attendance. A Fedex Miniature Golf Course was set up in the hangar, as well as a dunk booth, swing dance classes, and the FEDEX NASCAR, in addition to a ramp full of FEDEX planes, delivery cars etc. The hospitality was tremendous, with dozens of FEDEX maintenace workers, supervisiors, engineers, and managers all asking what they could do for us. Larry got his phenolic canopy rub rail re-installed, and I couldn't think of anything to have repaired, painted, or fabricated! A great experience landing at LAX. Each controller kept asking -- "You want to LAND at LAX?" Even the ground controller asked "Why are you guys here?" I should have said we wanted to taxi to the airport cafe for a burger! -- Great event!
