Champion Provides The Spark
Visitors to Lakeland will have the opportunity to greet some of
their favorite performers at the Champion Aerospace Booth. Kirby
Chamblis, Patty Wagstaff, Michael Goulian and the Aeroshell
Aerobatic Team will all be making appearances over the next several
days at booth B-020 just inside the southwest end of the
building.
Patty Wagstaff will be there to greet the crowd on Thursday the

in front of millions of people per year. She is a three-time U.S.
