Variety of Aircraft In the Air on a Warm Winter Sunday Afternoon

By Carmelo Turdo

Parts of the Midwest received a break from the cold and wet winter experienced recently, and so out came the aircraft Sunday afternoon at St. Louis Downtown Airport. The airport is home to the Greater St. Louis Air & Space Museum and EAA Chapter 64, both working together that day to provide Young Eagle Flights to members of the local Boy Scouts of America Council. The day's flying included the Young Eagles Flights, transients, local flights and flight training by Ideal Aviation and St. Louis Flight Training. We hope you enjoy the photo essay below showing just some of the aircraft we saw and heard until sunset!
