Arnold Palmer Memorabilia to be Featured at Annual Pennsylvania Air Show
Arnold Palmer's private airplane and other memorabilia will be on display at the Westmoreland County Air Show scheduled near his hometown of Latrobe.
Palmer's Citation X Jet has been purchased by Xcoal, a major sponsor of the show. The company maintains a hangar at the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport in Unity Township. The air show will be held there June 24-25. Other Palmer memorabilia, including a tractor featured in a Pennzoil commercial Palmer did, will be displayed in the hangar.
Palmer was a pilot and chaired the Westmoreland County Airport Authority when he died Sept. 25 at age 87. The authority runs the airport about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh. It was renamed for Palmer in 1999.
The air show also features the Navy's Blue Angels precision fighter jet team.

The domesticated opossum wore his Saint Patrick's Day outfit for the shoot: a green bedazzled top hat, an orange beard wig and a classic "Kiss Me, I'm Irish" shirt in photos supplied to NBC10 by owner Katy DiSanto.

Gary the Trashcat (he is actually an opossum, not a cat) was 3 months old when he did his 'Santa' shoot in December. The now 6-month-old opossum went through a growth spurt and has gained 2 pounds since then.

Gary has also amassed a huge following on his Instagram account since Christmas -- going from 133 to 1,192 followers.

DiSanto created an Instagram page for her furry friend when she noticed her personal account was overwhelmed with photos of him. He goes by @gary.the.trashcat.

His sense of smell has become more powerful as well, DiSanto said.

"Did you know jellybeans have a 'smell'? I didn't," she said. "Apparently Gary can smell them, because whenever I'm eating them he gets very excited and won't leave me alone until I share."

DiSanto plans on dressing Gary up for an Easter photo shoot -- stay tuned!

Gary is tame and dependent on humans. He has special paperwork from the Department of Fish and Wildlife that permits him to live with people.
