A clean plane is a happy plane

By General Aviation News Staff · September 10, 2018 ·

The Mansfield Pilot’s Association/Bridgewater State University annual Plane Wash is scheduled with the Bridgewater Aviation Fraternity for Saturday, Sept. 29, starting at 10 a.m., at Mansfield Municipal Airport (1B9) in Massachusetts.

There will be enough students to wash two planes at a time, organizers note, adding the students also can wash twin-engine airplanes and jets. Pilots are asked to reserve a spot on the schedule.

There is no formal pricing — the students are working for donations.

“The pilots are usually pretty generous and they are looking forward to working hard for a successful program,” officials noted.

    Such a beautiful picture! A small airport nestled in a local community setting with kids having fun washing airplanes for a great cause.

    These kids are special –because they made it inside the eight foot high, razor wired, super security fence that otherwise says “stay out” to anyone with a passing interest in aviation.
