Flying With The Aero Experience: Piper Cubs Over the Midwest

By Carmelo Turdo
This edition of the Flying With The Aero Experience series looks back to March of 2015 during the filming of Fly Now! The Movie. The Fly Now! The Movie crew took advantage of a Midwest late winter warm spell by taking a Piper Cub flight over southwest Illinois.  The Aero Experience Founder Carmelo Turdo flew with Executive Producer Brian Kissinger, accompanied by pilot Bill Aanstad in his Cub.  The Cubs took off from Sackman Field in Columbia, IL and landed at Sparta Community Airport (Hunter Field) in time for lunch before returning to Columbia.  Along the way to Sparta, IL and back, we gathered photos and video for use in the reality aviation documentary, Fly Now! The Movie.
