20th Anniversary American Waco Club Fly-In Held at Dauster Flying Field

By Mark Nankivil

The American Waco Club held its 20th Anniversary Fly-In at Dauster Flying Field (Creve Coeur Airport) in west St. Louis County recently.  It was great to see familiar faces, and some new ones, along with a variety of aircraft.  The annual event offers an opportunity for Waco owners and others to converge on this Midwest airfield and experience 1930s-40s aviation.  On Friday, June 8, aircraft arrived for display at Dauster Flying Field, and on Saturday they flew out to Aero Estates in Belleville, IL for breakfast.  Here are some scenes from the arrival and flyout:
