Bahamas Day at Orlando Executive Airport on February 19th was very successful. The airport ramp was filled with piston aircraft bringing attendees to enjoy Peas and rice with conch fritters, entertainment by a Junkanoo band, and exhibits about the Bahamas. Pilots learned overwater safety tips and had customs/immigration questions answered. Brad Elliott helped lead the event which was enjoyed by all who attended.
