Flying the Cherokee Around St. Louis Downtown Airport

By Carmelo Turdo
The Aero Experience was in the air again recently, this time in a Piper Cherokee flown by EAA Chapter 64 member Paul Voorhees. We flew a few patterns around St. Louis Downtown Airport, passing by the control tower to Runway 5. After takeoff, a right standard pattern brought us over the Jet Aviation terminal and surrounding areas on the way back to the runway for touch-and go's. We eventually taxied back to the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum historic Curtiss-Wright Hangar 2 before securing the aircraft in its hangar later.
