Well after a whirlwind of the Vintage Fly-In and Oshkosh and a week to recover, we’re finally back to update the blog. Sorry about the delay.
The fly-in here in Concrete was a great success again this year. Despite some weather woes with IMC mornings and thunderstorms in the evening, there were plenty of airplanes flying in old and new. It was one of the better years for antique airplanes and it was also a better than normal year for non flying visitors.
We have plenty of notes on improvements for next year, especially for parking of antique, vintage and classic planes, and we hope to have a few new things for the fly in next year as well.
There were some some great aircraft on display and the awards handed out by the Concrete Vintage Fly-In are listed below.
