The existing HIAS corporation has indeed decided to fold its tent; but there apparently exists the chance of a cooperative venture to revive the event at a future date. The initiative comes from Rick Franks, CWH board chairman (and well known in past years as the pilot of CWH's late and lamented Hurricane); the Hamilton newspaper reports he will be raising the idea at a CWH directors' meeting, and hopes to bring on board TradePort Inc., the company that operates Munro Airport (Mt.Hope), as a partner. (Dare one hope, if such a concept proves workable, that with CWH heavily involved, the focus might swing back to vintage Warbirds?)
