Y’all really know how to turn up the heat!

I had a flying good time meeting everyone at the Gastonia Ghost Peppers Fan Fest! From the spicy snacks to the high-fives and selfies, you all made this eagle feel right at home.

Big shoutout to Peppy and the whole Gastonia Ghost Peppers crew for the warm (and extra hot) welcome! Can’t wait to soar by again soon!
