Following the River to Fredericktown, MO

By Carmelo Turdo

A few weeks ago, The Aero Experience flew along with Trent Duff, member of the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum, in his Cessna 172 from Cahokia, IL to Fredericktown, MO.  Part of the hour-long flight followed the Mississippi River south from St. Louis, with the remainder over refineries and fields.  Several other aircraft flew in that day, and after getting some lunch and visiting with local pilots, we returned to St. Louis Downtown Airport and the museum.  Here are some views from this day trip:
