Blakesburg 2006
Every year, owners of classic aircraft from across the country gather in the unlikely spot of Blakesburg, Iowa, home of the Antique Aircraft Association. Mary and I have attended for several years, after being invited by Bill and Sharon Tinkler back in 2003 (The AAA keeps out the riff raff by making their fly-in a "by-invitation-only" event), and have always been rewarded by cold, soaking rain and awful weather. Not this year! As can be seen by the photos, below, the weather simply could not have been better, and the sights and sounds of round engines flying off Blakesburg's soft grass strip will remain with me forever.
