Here are a few of the Highlights of our Trip to and from Blakesburg Iowa at the end of August 2015 with the 1929 Curtiss Robin and 1946 Taylorcraft Chase Plane.

Here's a short video made by the local newspaper reporter during our Stop at Chilliothe MO on our way North.

2015 Central Texas (Taildragger) Fly-In

  Formerly known as the Central Texas Taylorcraft Fly-In... this year, we merged forces with the folks from the Cessna 120/140 association.  We also invited Champs, Cubs, and Stinsons.  The result was a good time in spite of some unstable weather conditions on Friday, Saturday morning, and Sunday.  As always, the crew at the Old Fort Parker Historic site and Fort Parker Flying Field were extra hospitable.  The food was great, the people were awesome.  Here are a few fun photos from this year's event.

Uhhhmm... well it was all a big mixup and misunderstanding.
