Sure, you can post info on the Van's website. The
more airplanes the better. You can copy and paste
this if you want to.

---------------------------------------

In 1958 Leland Snow moved to Olney and started
building airplanes. He sold his first company and
started Air Tractor, Inc. in 1972. Air Tractor is now
the world?s largest manufacturer of agricultural and
fire fighting aircraft, which are sold all over the
world. These aircraft are also used for dispersing
oil spills in the sea, transporting heating fuel to
remote areas in northern Canada, and by the U.S.
Department of State for eradication of narcotic crops
in Colombia. You can visit the company?s website
www.airtractor.com for more information.

Leland?s story is truly a success story of
entrepreneurship, hard work, and pursuit of the
American dream! We are celebrating this 50 year
milestone with an Open House for our customers,
employees, and the townspeople of Olney. This event,
to be held at the Olney Municipal Airport (KONY), will
include plant tours for the general public, food, live
music, aircraft static displays, and a few flight
demonstrations. We expect approximately 3000 people
to be in attendance.

Fly-in guests are also invited. There will be plenty
of parking for everyone.....and the more airplanes the
better! The airport will be closed for about 2 hours
in the afternoon to allow for flight demonstrations.
BE SURE TO CHECK NOTAMS BEFORE FLYING IN! Call Mike
Rhodes at Air Tractor (940) 564-5616 ext. 319 for more
information.
