You are invited to a special event at the Vero Beach Regional Airport!
On Friday, August 18, 2017, a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be held for the Indian River County Historical Society’s Historic Display at the Vero Beach Regional Airport. Starting at 9:30 am, the ceremony will include remarks by the IRCHS and the Airport Director followed by the Ribbon Cutting by the Vero Beach Mayor and comments by the John Carney family. Refreshments will follow with time for questions and photos with the Carney family.
Lt. John Carney trained as a pilot during World War II at the Naval Training Center located at the site of the current Vero Beach Regional Airport.
The Carney family donated his original flight suit as well as many other items to the IRCHS to share with the community.
Please join us to celebrate all the men and women who bravely fought for our freedom. Call the IRCHS at 778-3435 with questions or comments.
