Clifford Aeroworks attended the 2009 Dawn Patrol Rendezvous in full force bringing along the whole crew and the SPAD 13 as well as plans sets, documentation, photos, flags and about everything else you can fit in a 10 passenger van and a 16 foot double axle trailer. Held at the Wright Patterson AFB museum the event is on of the premier WWI aviation gatherings. The Clifford Aeroworks crew talked with literally thousands of visitors to our display over the course of the weekend. Despite miserable weather made up of low hanging fog, rain, mist and cold that only let up long enough for a few hours of flying time, the show was well attended and the SPAD was one of the busiest attractions. Rather than park behind the ropes we made the call to display in front of the pavilion and let the public get close. Each morning we arrived from the hotel to find the plane just as we had left it, intact with a crowd already formed around it. Perhaps the biggest compliment certainly a highlight for all of the work that was put into attending the show was when the Dawn Patrol emcee and author of the book "The Stand, The final flight of Lt. Frank Luke" displayed the Clifford Aeroworks SPAD 13 at show center as he told the story of Lt. Luke, a SPAD pilot, and his heroic last flight. The Air Force and people of Dayton showed us a great time and we look forward to returning.
