2009 Monocoupe Fly-In at Creve Coeur Airport

By Carmelo Turdo

The 2009 Monocoupe Club Fly-In is in full swing at Creve Coeur Airport (old Dauster Flying Field) October 2, 2009. It was too windy to fly, but some Monocoupes were already on display.

Other aircraft are featured at the Monocoupe Fly-In. Planes from the LaFayette Foundation were visiting this weekend. We regret to report that one of the LaFayette Foundation aircraft had an incident on landing yesterday in the windy conditions, but the pilot is fine. However the aircraft was trucked back to Colorado. Please visit the LaFayette Foundation website at www.lafayettefoundation.org/ for more information about the collection of World War I replica aircraft.

Some Boeing/Stearman aircraft were on hand at the Monocoupe Fly-In along with other treasures in nearby hangars.
