Final Performance Was At Stuart, FL Air Show Sunday
As the 2017 Stuart Air Show closed at Witham Field in Florida on November 5th, aviation enthusiasts bid a fond farewell to AeroShell Aerobatic Team member, Gene McNeely, who retired after 24 years of service with the team. Fans will likely remember McNeely for his years of flying the ‘slot’ position for the AeroShell Aerobatic Team. His favorite memories are flying the night shows that he humbly explains away as mere ‘smoke and mirrors.’ However, he actually fell in love with flying at a young age.
