Southport Aerospace is celebrating the silver anniversary of its flight training this month, and a special 25-year commemorative event's taking place.

"We certainly hope that we get lots of people out at our dedication event next Friday morning on April 28th," says CEO Peggy May. "It takes place at 10:30 and finish at around 11:15. We have a special guest coming out, and we'd love for people to come on out and see what we're doing out there."

May says they're planning on a couple of surprise announcements and are excited about their surprise guest. She adds it promises to be a great time, especially if it's a nice sunny day.

It all takes place on the greenspace east of 25 Centennaire Drive.
