Culpeper Regional Airport marked National Aviation Day yesterday with a special event honoring the memory of animal rescue pilot Seuk Kim.
Kim tragically lost his life in 2024 while transporting rescue dogs, and his work continues through Seuk's Army and the pilots and volunteers who carry on that mission.
Several of the puppies at yesterday's event also have a special connection to Seuk's legacy. Their mother was flown to Culpeper on June 28th, Seuk's birthday, and gave birth to eight puppies later that night. The puppies were named in honor of Seuk and his family.
Thank you to the Culpeper Regional Airport and all those who took part in honoring Seuk's legacy.
