Sky Limo Rides the Intracoastal in the Winterfest Boat Parade 2010

Full-service aviation company, Sky Limo Air Charter, collects more than 500 toys for Toys for Tots Campaign




After months of preparation, Sky Limo made its mark during this year’s Seminole Hard Rock Winterfest Boat Parade. The float, which was the brainchild of Sky Limo’s Tom Conlan, featured a 48-foot long, 8-passenger, twin-engine Sabre 60 jet aircraft that was mounted onto a barge. The Frank Sinatra inspired “Fly Me to the Moon” theme was complete with a lunar moon backdrop, dancing flight attendants, black-tie businessmen and a Frank Sinatra impersonator with a deejay playing his music.

“Taking part in this year’s Winterfest Boat Parade was an easy decision,” Conlan said. “We wanted to do something that [to our knowledge] has never been done before, while at the same time encouraging a family atmosphere amongst our employees. This was a project everyone here could have some fun with, as well as be able to celebrate the holiday season while doing something special for the community.”

Being involved in charity, and the community in general, is important to Sky Limo, which is why the company decided to launch a cooperative effort with the United States Marine Corps “Toys for Tots” campaign. With their Winterfest entry this year, Sky Limo mounted the aircraft a few feet up in the air, leaving an open area directly beneath the aircraft. Sky Limo, its employees and members of the community donated thousands of dollars worth of unwrapped toys, including bicycles, for “Toys for Tots.”



The mission of the Sky Limo Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys, and distribute those toys as gifts to needy children in the community. The primary goal is to deliver a message of hope to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
“Sky Limo is a company that is always looking to further immerse itself in the community where its employees work and live,” said Conlan. “And we strongly feel that this was a unique opportunity to do exactly that.”
