Remarks at the Miracles in the Sky Air Show in Fresno

May 30, 1992
    I can hear you. We had a good look at the crowd there. And I want to 
salute Lonnie and Heidi English and I wish everybody there in the 
support of the Valley Children's Hospital all the best.
    And I wish each of you could see this magnificent Air Force One 
piloted by Colonel Danny Barr. It's a marvelous airplane, and I think it 
represents our country very well as we go not just here but overseas as 
well.
    I wish you well. This air show that will benefit the Valley 
Children's Hospital is just a wonderful thing. I salute you. I salute 
you all at TV 30 for their civic--I don't know how to say it, but the 
civic responsibility, you might say, of supporting this wonderful 
charity. But also you're bringing people a lot of happiness there.
    So, good luck to each and every one of you. Again, to Lonnie and to 
Heidi who thought of this in the first place, well done. Well done. My 
only regret is I don't get down to see some of those shiny things we 
flew over.
