Flying with the Red Baron

Family

During the Heritage Village WWII event yesterday we reconnected with Alicia Addeo, now the historian on staff with Heritage Village. She had served as an advisor to Dave when he was doing the reconstruction of the battery storage building at Ft DeSoto for his Boy Scout Eagle project. While we were talking they held a drawing for a ride in a Red Baron biplane. Since she had multiple reasons why she did not want to fly in the biplane, she gave the certificate to Steve. His was one of three biplanes that flew out of Clearwater Airpark on Sunday morning. His plane did only one loop de loop, enough excitement for him. But he got some fabulous aerial views of the area.
