Another perfect day for a fall fly-in - this time at The Flying Dutchman airfield in Belleville, IL on Saturday. Great people, great planes, great location, great weather and great food combined to make an ideal Midwest fall fly-in. A variety of aircraft could be seen on the grass strip throughout the day, from a 1937 Waco YKS-7, to classic Cubs, an Ercoupe, RV-4, Stearman B75N1 along with more conventional Cessna 150 and 172. Of course we all came for the $100 hamburger (this time a vat of Chili was also on hand) and to talk airplanes with familiar faces before the weather closes in for the winter. Two of The Aero Experience usual suspects, Carmelo Turdo and Mark Nankivil, were on hand to record the event. Here is a sample of what we experienced. Stay tuned for coverage of the St. Charles Flying Service "Pumpkin Drop" next weekend.
