Above, Skip has already clipped the top, 16-ft. pink ribbon, and, on his second pass, is cutting the green 10-ft. high  ribbon as Bob Cox snapped this photo from his position right on the edge of the runway.

Skip Stewart and Paul Stender (right).



Skip's finale was to make two passes, flying sideways at a 45 degree angle, first cutting a ribbon 16 ft. above the deck, between poles held by volunteers (above), then cutting a second 10 ft. high ribbon on another pass.

Skip performed with Paul Stender, racing and laying down smoke.
