AirTran Airways is one of America's largest low-fare airlines, is the world's largest operator of the Boeing 717 and has America's youngest all-Boeing fleet. In February 2006,  AirTran became an official ICAS Foundation sponsor, providing air transportation services in support of the Foundation's programs.

The Florida International Air Show, Punta Gorda, FL, supports over 50 Florida-based local charities from their proceeds each year.  But they are also a repeat contributor to the ICAS Foundation, having designated the Foundation as a recipient twice over the past few years.  We appreciate their recognition of our programs, and extend our heartfelt thanks to Florida International Air Show President Bucky McQueen, Chairman Fred Buckingham, Air Boss Bob Hall, and the FIAS Board of Directors.

Many, many thanks to Kathy Mosteller, Air Show program Management at FedEx Express.  When the Foundation asked for help in jump-starting our historical archives project, Kathy was there with assistance in the form of packing boxes, shipping materials, pallets, shipping and storage space at the FedEx headquarters in Memphis, TN. 

The ICAS Foundation is for the air show community, and some of our most important supporters are community-based folks.  In April 2003, Don McLaren of the Northeast Council of Air Shows brought it all home when he presented a check for the NE Council's $1,000 donation to Foundation Chairman Sean D. Tucker and Foundation board member Brian Norris.  Thanks for your help!
