In addition to the peerless, precision formation flying of the U.S. Navy
Blue Angels Flight Demonstration team, on-line air show fans will thrill to
the awesome aerial acrobatics of the Red Barons Pizza Squadron, the X-Team
Masters of Disaster, Showcopters and Dale "Snort" Snodgrass as well as the
smoke and thunder of the Shockwave Jet Truck. There will also be

About Operation Interdependence®
Operation Interdependence® is the premier civilian-to-military delivery
system® that provides a means for Americans to demonstrate their support
of our deployed military forces by supplying them with the everyday items
they miss. It is the only such care package delivery system that is secured
and logistically sound. Most people are not aware that sending packages and
messages to military troops can cause logistics and security problems for
the military, detract from the mission and possibly bog down in the system
and never reach the troops. Operation Interdependence® works with the
military supply system to expedite care packages to America's deployed men
and women. The organization is seeking corporate sponsors, individuals and
groups to supply items such as videos, games, magazines, grooming aids, and
sports clippings as well as letters and messages from home. Operation
Interdependence® serves as a clearinghouse for other organizations where
volunteers inspect, pack and ship the civilian rations® that let
America's deployed men and women know they have support from home. For more
information or to join the organization's vital mission visit their website
www.oidelivers.org. Since launching in December 2001, OI® has delivered
over 500,000 c-rats® WITHOUT impacting military resources.
