Klus Memories of the Indianapolis Air Show

Robert Klus shares his memories of attending the Indianapolis Air Show with his family.

I too attended the Indy air show with my family and had a wonderful time.  It was a hot day, but we were able to see a fantastic air show and a Vietnam simulation with the aircraft of that era that was incredible.  To top it off, we went on a Huey (helicopter ride) at the end of the day.  It took us over the reservoir and the beautiful Indiana corn fields.  What an amazing experience!  I hope to do something similar this year.  It has been a couple of years since we last attend, so we are looking forward to it.

Hopefully you’ll get to experience another Huey helicopter ride again this year and see how the landscape has changed since last time. I’d love to do that as well sometime.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Robert!

Did you know we have an Olympic Gymnast in our town? Bridget Sloan is from Carmel and she will be representing the United States in Beijing, China along with the other members of the USA Gymnastics Team.

Now the question is how would you feel if it were your daughter that was representing the United States in the Olympics, in China, and you couldn’t afford to take yourself over there? That’s the challenge that faces Bridget’s parents and you can help. You can visit Bridget’s home gym website and donate money to their efforts to send her parents to China.

You can get more information about how you can support their efforts as a family or if you’re a business and would like to help you can get that information as well.
