ADVISORY...for Thursday & Friday (June 19 & June 20)

--(BUSINESS WIRE)

WHAT:     Van Nuys Airport invites the media to take to the skies with
          world-renowned aerobatic pilots Sean Tucker and Ed Hamill in
          advance of their performances at Aviation Expo 2003.

          Seated in the back of a chase plane (with an open door to
          allow for camera shots), you'll witness and record the
          actions of these incredible pilots as they perform precision
          aerial maneuvers in their biplanes. You'll also have the
          opportunity to interview the pilots on the ground.
          Reservations required, with media scheduled on a first-come,
          first-served basis.

          About Sean Tucker: A U.S. National Advanced Aerobatic
          Champion, Tucker wows audiences with his unique, thrilling
          feats. At Expo 2003, and on Expo media day, he will perform
          his trademark "Sky Dance" show in the Oracle Challenger
          biplane, and will impose more G-forces on his body than a
          jet fighter pilot.

          About Ed Hamill: Hamill, an F-16 instructor pilot sponsored
          by the U.S. Air Force Reserve, will entertain and inspire
          audiences at Expo 2003 in his "Dream Machine" biplane with
          his performance that pays tribute to a century of flight.
          He also will perform the show during Expo's media day.
