Thank you all for the info and PM's! I can hardly keep up with my reply's. From the feedback I have gotten, I think we can make this happen. I don't know how big we can make it but one thing about us Blanchard's is we stay focused! I have the blessing of the USO to start this and I sent an email off to WSAA with a little background info and questions. As I learn more I am gonna start hitting up some of the bigger names in the business for some sponsorship dollars and donations. One thing I learned from Aaron and his battle to become a pilot is when one person says no you just keep looking for someone who will say yes.
I was thinking Wetside next year but I have a tentative offer that might find this being held in Kittitas County. Keep the ideas and info rolling folks! It is appreciated more than you could ever imagine! -Karl
