2021 Virtual Art Show: Help From Above - Humanitarian Aviation |
In 2021 we were unable to hold our annual in-person conference due to COVID restrictions, so instead CAAA mounted a virtual art show on the theme: Humanitarian Aviation. Titled Help From Above, we have since included additional works by our members that fit the theme.
This gallery is dedicated to Don and Liane Connolly, founding members and important contributors to CAAA through the years.
