More great weather, lots of flying, many more visitors coming in by land and air... "a good time was had by all" is the best description.
|
|
Lots of low, slow formation flying was happening.
|
|
|
|
This is a replica Dormoy Bathtub. It was built in 2007, but the engine is an original Heath engine.
|
|
|
|
|
A Franklin Sport biplane.
|
|
|
|
This Corvair-powered Air Camper, the "Last Original", is the last one built by Bernard Pietenpol. It still flies regularly,
|
|
|
|
An engine collector's dream... most of these engines are from before the 1930s.
|
|
|
|
You see lots of interesting stuff tucked away in Brodhead's hangars.
|
|
|
|
Of course, old cars fit in with the old planes. This is a post-war Buick Eight.
|
|
|
|
This is a fuselage for a rare Lincoln Sport biplane... very tiny.
|
|
|
|
The Lincoln Sport sits in front of a Polen Special homebuilt from 1917.
|
|
|
|
The Polen is a lot like a smaller, homebuilt Jenny.
|
|
|
|
You rarely see craftsmanship like this anymore.
|
|
|
|
A little humor for the passengers...
|
|
|
|
Many old airplanes have a sort of elegance to them that's rarely seen today.
|
|
|
|
Another well-known but rare bird... a Corben Super Ace. This is a replica.
