Three Exciting Events with the Lindbergh Foundation
at Sun 'n Fun

The Lindbergh Foundation returns to Sun 'n Fun for several events.  For the first time, the Lindbergh Foundation will hold its annual Lindbergh Award Celebration at Sun 'n Fun, and will be honoring Jack J. Pelton with the 2010 Lindbergh Award, and FedEx Corporation with its Corporate Award for Balance.  A showing of "Over Africa" followed by a panel discussion will be held following the event at the AOPA Pavilion.

In addition, a press conference will be held to announce the 2010 Lindbergh Grant Recipients, and give an update on how the Husky airplane is being used to benefit the Kenya Wildlife Service in its efforts to reduce poaching.
