Manila Air Show draws large crowd
Thursday, September 12, 2002
The 2002 Manila Air show drew a large crowd in spite of the high temperatures. The sixth annual air show is sponsored by the Manila Pilots' Association (MPA) and the city of Manila with area businesses contributing to make the event something special for the entire family. Sarah Hargrave, a Manila high school senior, sang the National Anthem while skydivers from the Central Arkansas Parachute Company kicked off the show by carrying the Arkansas Flag and the American Flag made a perfect landing. The Central Arkansas Parachute Company has been part of the Manila show every year since the beginning.
