FLIGHTS AROUND THE WORLD

BY PETE FRATANGELO


We at the New York Combine are all proud of our Flights Around the World program, which was started in 1984. One of the most highly successful programs ever undertaken by any breed of pigeons. For overt two decades this program has attracted American Domestic Show Flight breeders the world over. Over the last two decades we seen some 900 American Domestic Show Flights shipped through this program to enthusiastic flight breeders around the world. In part the incredible large number of breeders which have participated and the incredible number of birds that have been shipped is a testament to how successful this program has been for the New York Combine and the American Domestic Flight.

The last year or so we shipped about some 30 American Domestic show Flights through this program, although the numbers are down some of our members are shipping the American Domestic Show Flights free of charge, to name a few, President and Chairman of the Board Sal Gigante has been shipping birds to our affiliate clubs, Executive Vice President John Thornton shipped birds to our Western Domestic Flight Association the last few years, our Treasurer Sal De Caro also sending birds to the Southern Domestic Flight Association and for myself I shipped some within the states.

Our affiliates clubs are also shipping birds within the states and around the world, this is one reason that the New York Combine numbers have been down.

We all know that without this program our beautiful breed, would still be a New York breed of pigeons. Now we have four affiliate clubs: The Southern Domestic Flight Association, the Western Domestic Flight Association, The British Domestic Flight Association and our new addition The Australian Domestic Flight Club.

Today, with their help our beloved breed is enjoying success throughout the world, and the American Domestic Show Flight has never been as acknowledged as it is today.

All of our affiliate Clubs know that the New York Combine will always be behind them 110% .

Because of our success, this program put the American Domestic Flight on Top Of The World.

Since we started this program in 1984 of "Flights Around the World" we now have this breed of beauties in 48 states and worldwide in Canada, England, South Africa, The Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Poland, Germany, Holland, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Scotland.

The above was all made possible under the leadership of the New York Combine and with the help of our affiliated clubs. This magnificent breeds know as the" AMERICAN DOMESTIC SHOW FLIGHT" has reached heights that would never have been dreamt of by our founding fathers.
