Hood River, OR, July 20, 2023– Hood River Aero declared flour bomber Liam Schofield and his pilot Jason Wells as the winners of their Flour Bombing at Ken Jernstedt Airfield, 4S2 competition on July 14th. Teams, families, and aero enthusiasts gathered to enjoy a barbecue, and compete to see who had the best aim when dropping flour out the window of a moving airplane from 100 ft up in the air. The goal was to flour bomb a Unimog truck.

The pilot received a certificate for aviation fuel. And the bomber received a certificate good for a scenic flight for him and a guest.
