Guest Post: Wings of the North Air Expo Sunday Airshow Performers

Guest Post: The Aero Experience thanks our friend Duane Cooley of DRC Images for contributing this coverage of the 2022 Wings of the North Air Expo held July 23-24 at Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie, MN. On Saturday, a storm rolled in and caused cancellation of the show. Sunday's weather was clear and sunny and most of the planes in attendance flew.
