Please attend the screening of this amazing documentary at the Sanctuary located at 2nd and Barnett Shoals in Watkinsville Saturday at 7:00 pm and consider eating at Kumquat Mae restaurant before hand as they are donating 10% of the proceeds to the Team 6 of Athens Dancing with the Stars. This film is about the infancy of aerial performances in the Northeast Georgia area, especially Elberton. This is a fascinating look back at the barnstorming days post World War II. This film was shot by Matt Gennaro with help from Grady Thrasher whose father is the rather fascinating focus of this film about an airplane mounted on top of a car and the shows around the Southeast. The funds raised go toward Project Safe in the name of Dave Shearon and Elissa Bacso of Team 6. They will be competing in the latest competition of Dancing with the Athens Stars April 1st at the Classic Center against the likes of Barbara Dooley, Bob Smith, and many others.

The following shows the email exchange between Tim Bryant of NewsTalk 1340 WGAU AM in Athens and the Kathy Prescott and Grady Thrasher of Athens FAQ (who are opposed to the NBAF coming to Athens. While opposed to NBAF in principal because of lack of infrastructure and roads specifically to the area at Milledge and Whitehall, I do not blame Bryant for not wanting to let the opponents of NBAF carry on with copious follow up questions. While the NBAF opponents may have completely legitimate arguments and relevant follow-up questions, they do themselves no favors by making enemies in the media. I doubt that Thrasher and Prescott will be back on Bryant's four day a week interview program anytime soon. The following is from their email release of the back and forth between Bryant, Prescott and Thrasher, along with some folks in North Carolina.
