American Navion Society Annual Convention Report
SNAG was well represented again this year at the ANS annual convention held
at
This year's convention began on Sunday but some of us arrived on Saturday to relax and look around. A few of us flew up to Lake Superior Sunday morning to look around and fly over the Shipwreck Memorial and Whitefish Bay. We also landed on Macinac Island.
Sunday evening we had our traditional welcoming pizza party. During the week our members toured the area including trips to Mackinac Island, Whitefish Bay, the Icebreaker Museum, and the Shipwreck Memorial.
Congratulations to SNAG members participating in the flying competition events at the 2019 ANS Annual Convention. Our combined efforts resulted in SNAG winning the ANS Challenge Cup for our 15th consecutive year! Former SNAG President Mitch Midyet should be very proud.
