The Sheltair Daytona 25th anniversary was celebrated during the 55th annual Daytona 500 this past weekend. The event featured a luau theme this year and event-goers celebrated with live music and entertainment, as well as food, beverages, raffles and giveaways. The celebration was held during the Daytona 500, as Sheltair Daytona is the gateway fixed base operation to Daytona International Speedway. Sheltair Daytona has been servicing the general aviation community at Daytona Beach International Airport since 1988, as the airport is just walking distance from the race. "We are so thrilled to be hosting this event that will coincide perfectly with the Daytona 500," Arvin Wees, Sheltair Daytona's general manager, said prior to the event. "Every year, we are well prepared and fully staffed to safely and efficiently handle the high volume of aircraft movements during 'speedweeks.' We take great pride in our superior safety record and excellent customer service delivery and this year we thought it would be fitting to celebrate and enhance the festivities for our guests during the event."Wings Over North Georgia to feature USAF Thunderbirds
