Week In Midwest Aviation: Spirit of St. Louis Airshow and STEM Expo, Presented By Boeing, Wrapup

By Fred Harl

The Spirit of St. Louis Airshow and STEM Expo, Presented by Boeing, concluded last Sunday at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in the Chesterfield Valley near St. Louis.  The airshow, in its second biennial format, is reminiscent of the St. Louis County Fair & Air Shows hosted by the airport for decades through 2007.  Headliners were the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.  Most of the static display aircraft available for visitors were made by the Boeing Company or other companies later absorbed into Boeing.  The Aero Experience wraps ups our team coverage with another look at the arrivals and practice sessions, with some unique ramp-side views.
