It was a beautiful yet windy day at the annual Sackman Airport Fall Fly-In Sunday. The Aero Experience was on hand to visit with the participants and photograph the varied assortment of aircraft that flew in for the event. The Sackman Airport Fall Fly-In is a favorite family-friendly event usually held on a mid-October Sunday afternoon.  Aircraft represented at the event included: several Taylorcrafts, Cessna 180, 120 and 172 Skyhawks, a Highlander, a Rans S7S, a couple RV's, a Corbin Junior Ace E, Luscombe T-8F, a SA Arrow, Brian Kissinger's Sonerai, a Searey, a couple Piper Cherokee's, a Bowers Fly Baby, a couple Stearman from Creve Coeur Airport and even a Gyrocopter.  The event was well attended, and everyone there was very friendly.  The Aero Experience would like to thank airport management for their hospitality in allowing us tremendous access to get the photographs you see here.
