We’re proud to announce the success of our recent Tri-City Aviation Event on September 20th, held at Tri-Cities Regional Airport in Blountville, Tennessee.

Attendees had the rare opportunity to experience rides in historic World War II aircraft, while giving back to three organizations that make a meaningful difference in the region:

Smile Foster Closet

The Magnolia Project

Frontier Health

“The Tri-City Aviation Event is all about having fun and honoring history while serving the community,” said Rick Mantei. “It’s inspiring to see people come together, enjoy aviation, and support nonprofits that change lives every day.”

The Rick Mantei Team thanks all who participated, and volunteered to make this event a success. Plans are already underway for the next Tri-City Aviation Event, continuing the tradition of pairing aviation with philanthropy.
