The 16th Annual Little Egypt Fly-In was held Saturday at Mount Vernon Outland Airport in south central Illinois. A wide variety of aircraft were on the ramp and in the air, and the local EAA chapter provided Young Eagle Flights to youth 8-17 years old during most of the day. Aircraft from the Illinois Air and Army National Guard units were present, along with the MO Wing Commemorative Air Force B-25 Mitchell "Show Me," a variety of light sport and homebuilt aircraft, a North American SNJ-5 Texan warbird, and an Aero L-29 Delfin jet trainer from the ex-Soviet Union. Pilot Kevin Kegin gave rides in his 1941 Waco UPF-7 biplane, and a Bell Jet Ranger crew gave rides to veterans throughout the day. If you missed this year's fly-in, you can experience it with us. Don't miss it next year!
Special thanks to Airport Manager Chris Collins and his staff for yet another well-executed event at Mount Vernon Outland Airport.
