EAA Chapter 908,

            I’m a member of EAA Chapter 1241 here in Florida and I’m emailing you to let you know that the Key West International Airport (KEYW) is having their first ever Southernmost Openhouse & Aviation Review (SOAR) on Saturday, February 5^th, 2011.  It’s a one day, free to the public event being produced by a new 501(c)3, not for profit called, Friends of the Key West International Airport, Inc (FOTA).  SOAR is not an air show, nor is it a fly-in.  However, consider this an invitation to attend, with or without your airplane(s).  After all, Key West in February is a great place to be with great weather, warm water, world class fishing and diving, and a relaxed atmosphere!  SOAR will include aircraft static displays, aviation exhibitors/vendors, flight opportunities (free for kids ages 8-17 thanks to the EAA Young Eagles program) in various types of aircraft, and tours of the new terminal.  We believe your members may be interested in hearing about SOAR because, while our ramp space is very limited, we still have space remaining for statics with a high “cool” factor and because we also have exhibitor/vendor booth spaces available for aviation businesses, and with attendance estimated at several thousand, it’s a great opportunity to market to pilots, aircraft owners and aviation enthusiasts in general.  I have attached a flyer which can be forwarded or posted as you see fit. 

            For more details please email us at info.kwiasoar@yahoo.com or see our web site at:  http://monroecofl.virtualtownhall.net/Pages/MonroeCoFL_Airport/soar/SOAR or call 305-879-9306. 

Thank you!
