Sonex Aircraft, LLC held its first annual Fly-O-Rama Fly-In on Saturday, June 17. Despite gusty winds, high temperatures, and impending thunder storms, the event was quite successful.

Approximately 50 current and future Sonex Aircraft builders were in attendance on Saturday.

Special thanks goes out to David Koelzer (Sonex S/N: 0036), Marty Smiltneek (Sonex S/N: 0173) Wayne Daniels (Sonex S/N: 0444) and Drew Waterworth (Waiex S/N: 0024) for bringing their aircraft to the event!

The Fly-O-Rama also turned-out to be a successful fund-raiser for the local chapter of Women In Aviation, who provided a wonderful spread of food for the event.
