Preliminary reports indicate that AIRSHO 2015 was a rousing success.  AIRSHO Director Gena Linebarger reported that Saturday attendance was excellent and Sunday was like a typical Saturday, traditionally the busiest day of the weekend.

Congratulations to all who made our first AIRSHO “solo” a successful one!
