IAC Chapter 61 has announced that the 2022 Giles Henderson Memorial Challenge Aerobatic Contest will be held June 3-5 at Salem-Leckrone Airport in Illinois. The 47th Annual event is believed to be the longest continuously running chapter aerobatic contest in the country, and it continues to draw participants from around the region.
