Each year Valentine’s Residences Resort and Marina, Harbour Island, Bahamas, participates in the biggest air show and display in the US, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Air Venture 2016 promoting small aircraft fly-ins to Eleuthera and luxury vacations at Valentine’s Resort. Valentine’s offers a variety of group events making it the perfect escape for private pilots flying solo or in groups of any size.

Dean Spychalla, Director at Valentine’s Resort, shared this interesting story about the resort’s connection with this great event:

My nephews Paul, Ernie, and Alex are all current and former Navy Aviators/Pilots. My dad was a pilot. My nephew’s grandfather was a Navy Intelligence Officer. My daughter Illiana, Director of Sales at Valentine’s Resort was on hand with her cousins to meet Paul when he landed his F-18 Hornet Growler at the air show.

Air Venture at Oshkosh, Wisconsin is the busiest airport in the world. Illiana was at the airshow representing Valentine’s Residences Resort and Marina. Pilots tend to have big boats…
