Ultralight Fly-In at Lake Sangchris Air Park Has Variety of Participants

By Carmelo Turdo
This weekend's Midwest Ultralight/LSA Rendezvous at Tommy George's Lake Sangchris Air Park attracted a variety of ultralight, LSA and GA aircraft. The lower temperature and low humidity also brought some headwinds, enabling those of us who drove in to arrive comfortably before those who flew! Here are a few images from Saturday. Special thanks to the Gateway Area Ultralight Association who were my hosts for the event.
