Reach for the Stars ISTAT hosts children and families of Shooting Star CHASE at Farnborough Airshow Chalet T To celebrate the closure of the 2014 Farnborough International Airshow at the Farnborough Airport in Hampshire, England, ISTAT gladly welcomed 32 children along with their families from the Shooting Star CHASE organization to an exclusive experience at the ISTAT Chalet on Sunday, 20 July. As ISTAT prepared for their arrival, crews from GES/SDD and the Farnborough Airshow Team moved into high gear building special ramps for our guests and even moving air conditioners to accommodate the ramp. Behind-thescenes arrangements were made to bring in some very special guests to add even more excitement for the children and their families. The day began with the police escort from the main gate to chalet. Upon arrival, each special guest received a gift bag containing items donated by many of our members. The kids were blooming with excitement as they put on their aviation caps, lanyards, aircraft pins, toys and more. Many of the children put together model planes donated by one of our manufacturers as they anxiously awaited the start of the airshow.
