The morning of May 23, 1970 was busy and stressful as ten Air American pilots readied themselves for the most memorable and possibly dangerous flight of their lives. Their mission was to fly secret information to the American forces patrolling the Mekong Delta River and Jungle. These secrets were not only vital to winning the war but also held secrets to boosting human strength agility and reflexes. The first part of their hazardous flight went smoothly and the tense pilots made the mistake of relaxing, and then the worst happened. Out of the jungle the ten pilots were shot out of the sky causing them to lose control of their planes and landing in the jungle. The loud crashes and screeching monkeys alerted the patrolling American forces that their Air America pilots were no longer coming to help them. Unfortunately, the crash also caught the eyes and ears of the Vietcong and NVA forces that were out to destroy the Americans. Both sides had their armies ready to go out into the jungle to either rescue or capture the injured Air America pilots.

While the American forces and the Vietcong were making their way to find the pilots, or more importantly, the secrets the pilots are guarding, they never suspected the danger that both armies were walking into. Making their way up the river was a third party who was also very interested with finding the pilots, the French Montagnard. They had, in fact, already found one of the ten pilots and had gotten a hold of his secret, super human strength. Using this powerful secret to make themselves untouchable, they use their boat to make their way up river to find the pilots and to destroy the other two factions of the war.

Starts Saturday May 23 at 6pm, ends on Sunday May 24 at 12 noon.
$45 for the whole weekend
$10 all weekend air
A field paint only event that starts at $35
