Final grass cutting this Friday guys! Tent guy starts erecting Saturday morning @ 6:30 AM. So many tents it'll take 3+ days to get them all up. Big thanks to Gronna Jones and City of Wilson for letting him out a day earlier than normal to get started. Registrations still rolling in!!! Online pre-registration shuts down Saturday but will continue at event Wed-Sun. Same price. So far we have a dozen vendors attending! Thrilled to have them all.

Good morning, everyone!
First of all, Greg and I want to thank Larry, Josh, and all of the FIF crew for the outstanding job they did with this event! It was so great to see everyone after so long, and even through the extreme heat, we had a blast and will be back next year! We also want to thank everyone for nominating Greg for the Bob Violett Wright Stuff Award. Wow... very unexpected, but he is extremely honored and it's already displayed in prominence in the office.
Here is a link to my photos on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmVS8Fhw.
There are a lot--nearly 2700--I couldn't pick just a few ! When I have the time, I do plan on posting a few of them with a public link on my Facebook account to share on social media (and will share the link on the FIF Facebook page as well). The Flickr photos are locked down so that they can't be downloaded, but feel free to send me a message with your email and the photo file number and I'll gladly send the original/full-size photo to you. I only ask that you do not screenshot or take out my watermark on the photos and do not use them outside of Flickr or social media without permission or giving me credit (such as in an advertisement, promotion of a product, etc.).
Enjoy!

To Larry, Josh, and all the FIF staff, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
All of you work so hard to provide us the opportunity to gather at FIF, fly jets, and be with all our friends. It's a big job and a lot of work and I just wanted to publicly thank you for your efforts. I had a great time this year and look forward to doing it again in 2022!
Thanks again,
Gary Jones

A big Thank You to all those that came out to support FIF 2021. Even with restrictions still in place and many of our friends not being able to attend, it was a record year for FIF. It was also the safest event we've ever had. like years past, we implemented a few changes to help things move faster and safer on the flight line, and like always you guys did you part to make it work. By far the best change was the numbered start up boards that corresponded with flight stations. After a couple of days you guys had it down pat and basically controlled the start up area yourselves!
A HUGE thanks to all the amazing sponsors that stepped up to support our event. They are listed on our web-site, so please take time to view that list, and don't forget to thank them again. They add a tremendous amount to our event and we cant thank them enough.
Thanks again to Gronna and the City of Wilson for having us back. Without Gronna's help and Wilson allowing us to use their awesome venue, there would be no FIF to speak of.
Also wanted to update you all on the fund raiser we did on Saturday night. Many of you voluntarily walked up make a donation to the local children's charity we were supporting this year. Your efforts and generosity brought in $2500.00 !!!! That is nothing short of outstanding! After taking with staff members and other pilots, we have decided this will be an annual thing for us at FIF. I know I speak for Gronna, FIF and the City of Wilson when I say Thank You!!! You guys are over the top and we sincerely appreciate all of your kindness and generosity.
We will be updating the First in Flight website in the coming days, so keep an eye out for photos, video and more as Brandon makes those changes. Again, thank ALL of you for making FIF 2021 such an awesome event.
