Ok, so I’m way behind. I’ve been busy, and I’ve basically kept putting off getting this update posted. I finally got one too many reminders that I haven’t updated lately so I figured I might as well get at it. Sooooo….
Blakesburg! After missing the AAA/APM annual fly-in last year due to other commitments, Jeri and I (and the Waco) returned to Blakesburg this year and had the usual marvelous time. The weather was beautiful, there was a huge turnout, and everyone just had a great time. Here are just a few highlights.
I parked in the usual Waco parking area, and found my tie-down neighbor to be the EAA Oshkosh award-winning RNF owned by Joe Kaminskas. Good company!

Another Waco we meet up with at many of the fly-ins is Dave and Jeanne Allen’s ASO. Dave and Jeanie hail from Elbert, CO.

The theme for this year’s fly-in was “Corporate Wings”. Here’s just one of the former corporate aircraft in attendance – Chuck Doyle’s Beech 18.

The featured aircraft this year was Howard. Here’s the bulk of the lineup of 15 Howards that were in attendance.

All told there were almost 400 aircraft registered at the fly-in this year. One of the rarest of them all was this Harlow.

As always, Blakesburg was an incredibly enjoyable, relaxing event. We look forward to returning next year and for years to come!
