Each year, for over 50 years, the Antique Aircraft Association has held their annual fly-in on a private grass strip near Blakesburg, Iowa.   This idyllic setting is the perfect canvas upon which to paint Golden Age and classic biplanes and monoplanes -- and they come by the hundreds!

This year we were blessed with picture-perfect weather, with low humidity, and temperatures in the low 80s.   The sun truly shone down on this event, and -- although we were only able to attend for 8 hours -- we once again got our "fix" of Blakesburg for the year!

Here is a video of the Iowa City contingent arriving, and some pix from the day:
