Spot Landing Contest Raises Money For Vets

Posted on December 4, 2015 by mwflyer

WAUSAU, WIS. – John Chmiel of Wausau Flying Service and Wausau Downtown Airport (KAWU), Wausau, Wis., has announced the winner of their “Spot Landing Contest In Honor of Veterans.” Local pilot, Bob Mohr – a three-time winner of the event – was declared the winner once again.

There were a total of 70 landing attempts during the nine-day contest; 31 different pilots made landing attempts; and the evening of the airport’s “hamburger night social” was a big success and accounted for 24 attempts, which is the most ever in one day.

Anyone wishing to send a cash donation to benefit disabled veterans may make their check payable to Men of Honor Society, c/o Wausau Flying Service, Wausau Downtown Airport, 725 Woods Place, Wausau WI 54403.
