Greetings!
Welcome to Culpeper, Virginia! While you’re enjoying our 12th Annual Culpeper
Air Fest on Saturday, October 8, 2011 from 9am-4pm at the Culpeper Regional Airport,
we hope that you will also visit our downtown area and stroll along the streets, visit our
museum, battlefields and historic sites. Whether it’s art, wine, a unique antique, or a
history lesson, you’ll find it in Culpeper with plenty of old-fashioned customer service
and a warm smile.
Plan to spend the weekend here starting with our FREE air show with something
for the entire family. Tour the airport, talk with the pilots about their planes and listen to
the roar of unique aircraft such as the Harrier and various warbirds overhead. Aircraft,
from restored antiques to modern jets, will be on display, and additional car parking
will be available.
The Culpeper County Parks & Recreation Department will have lots of neat demonstrations and arts and crafts for the smaller aviators, and you’ll want to have your photo
taken in an F-4 cockpit from Jet Pilot Photos.
Our vendors will have lots of food available, so you won’t go hungry. We are
working together to help make your Aviation Dreams come to life.
To experience all the unique restaurants Culpeper has to offer, plan to spend
Sunday, October 9 from noon to 5pm at our own Taste of Culpeper event. Live music,
free kids activities and local artists kick-off a spectacular Annual Downtown Restaurant
Week October 10-16.
We are pleased to have you as our guest, and wish to thank all the sponsors for their
support of these memorable annual events.

William C. Chase, Jr.

with numerous hours flying the Harrier AV8-A

in restoring and developing the neglected areas of historic Washington, DC, such as
Anacostia and South West Washington, DC. He returned to flying by joining the Commemorative
Air Force and became a flying sponsor of two of their aircraft. He now regularly flies in an
“Albatross” Czechoslovakian Advanced Jet Trainer and a 1939 Piper Cub L-4 “Grasshopper” aircraft
powered by an original Continental 65 HP, 4-cylinder engine. He has flight time in approximately
75 different type, model, and series of military and civilian aircraft in addition to the “Harrier.”
