The PX and Sun 'n Fun

Hello everyone, it’s Aaron! As I write this, Sam, Scott and Karen should just be finishing up setting up our booth at Sun ‘n Fun down in Lakeland; meanwhile, I am shirking my ScaleBirds duties on the opposite side of the country in Cape Vincent, NY at the mouth of the St. Laurance River and in view of Canada. We came up this way (including a 9 hour car ride with a 9 month old baby) to see the total eclipse. The weather held out and the clouds parted just long enough for us to see the totality. It was awesome in the truest meaning of the term, it inspired awe.

Now that seeing an eclipse is checked off my bucket list, I am happy to announce a second item: The PX is now open! May of our loyal followers and customers have purchased our key chain bottle openers or patches at the various airshows, but we have never had anything set up to sell merchandise online. We currently offer a few Verner and Scalebirds branded merchandise, and are trying to keep everything relatively thematic with our core business. Take a look around the PX, it’s still small as we build up a catalog and an inventory, but we hope you like it. If there is some we don’t have that you would love to see, reach out and let us know!

Next up on this jam packed week: Sun ‘n Fun. I will be traveling from the north of the country to the south over the next two days, but unlike in the past, I will be bringing the whole family. The Ide Squadron will be joining the Watrous Squadron by Wednesday evening and would love to see all of you some time during the week! ScaleBirds will be outside Hangar D in the north exhibits all week, with some exciting new exhibits, and potentially doing some flight demonstrations of the P-36.
