Fliers from across the Midwest gathered for the Fall Fly-In at St. Louis Downtown Airport (KCPS) on Saturday. It has been several years since there was a general aviation fly-in at KCPS, and this one was planned as a low-key lunch stop for those winging their way across the Midwest. The event was organized by Aaron Tarlow, a Piper Comanche pilot based at the airport, with special thanks to the airport management, air traffic controllers, Jet Aviation and Big River Aviation.
Aircraft began arriving around noon, just in time to get lunch from the food trucks and see the airport's guest warbird, P-51C Mustang Tuskegee Airmen, taxi out from the apron and take off for the Arsenal of Democracy 75th World War II Victory Commemoration Flyover in Washington, D.C. The World War II fighter will be temporarily based at the airport when it returns from the nation's Capitol. Also included here is a sample of the general aviation and experimental aircraft participating in the Fall Fly-In.
The
Aero Experience thanks all who participated in this year’s event, and we look
forward to more to come this fall and in the coming year.
