mentioned the possiblities of Helicopter rides at Columbiana Ct.
airport in Ohio. I called them and they no longer do these.
Mark talked to my class about the aviation program in Beaver Falls.
Do you do Helicopter rides? It would be for our grandson while he
is visiting from the state of Indiana.
Thank You,
