Adding signature sized banner to help promote the event. Would appreciate pilots who sign up to do the marathon with me as well as promoting in any way with the graphics I’m slowly going to upload here on the forum. It’s for a good cause so please try to promote.
Thank you for all your efforts! Remember to register to fly the marathon with me!
