AMARILLO, TEXAS -- Nearly 2,500 people gathered at River Falls Airport for a spectacular air and car show hosted by Ministry Wings Aviation.
Serving to infinity and beyond, Ministry Wings Aviation is working to provide private air transportation to those in need.
Executive Director of MWA Justin Miller said, "(MWA) helps children who are in need of medical treatment, disaster and humanitarian relief and churches, ministries, and missionaries. We do that to further the great commission of Jesus Christ to promote the gospel to people and to show God's love for others."
Saturday's air and car how did more than entertain a crowd; it's a benefit to raise money and awareness.
"It's benefiting Ministry Wings Aviation and to promote our empty flight plan, and currently today was the first official launch of our web based program that does the matching with the need and with the air craft," said Miller.
The organization has helped many around the area but hopes technology can take them to a national level, but locally their first event was a big success.
"We had the people come out with their little 'RC' planes and that was pretty cool," said spectator Spencer Nelson. "They had them up in the air, they were stalling and doing flips and missing each other. I think we've had a good time today it was this airport's first time doing this and I think they did a pretty good job."
Officials say it may have been their first, but definitely not their last.
"I like this because it has so many cool features, better than most air shows around that I've been to," said spectator Andrew.
