Waco Takeoff @ AAA Fly-in
Waco Takeoff This beautiful Waco made several takeoffs and landings on Antique Field the day I was able to attend the AAA Fly-in in Blakesburg IA. It’s hard to realize the beauty of this bird without a little video.

Max Holste MH-1521C Broussard at 2017 AAA Fly-in This late afternoon image was captured just after sunset and gives an idea of just how big this 6-seater is. For a photographer, Antique Field at the AAA Fly-in provides nice backgrounds instead of the usual clutter found at most airports.

Max Holste MH-1521C Broussard Landing The Max Holste MH.1521 Broussard is a 1950s vintage French six-seat utility plane designed by Max Holste for the French Army. It saw service in the Algerian War mostly as an artillery spotter and an air ambulance. Now, it’s mostly flown in France, the UK, and the United States by private pilots. Today, it’s flying at the AAA Fly-in on Antique Field.

Globe Swift Taxiing at the 2016 AAA Fly-In The Antique Airplane Association fly-in draws aircraft from their bases far and near. Unlike many fly-ins, the AAA fly-in promotes pilots flying during the fly-in, not just to and from. So, it’s not hard to get a ride in some of the coolest antique airplanes flying today.

Aerobatics @ Oshkosh The air shows at Oshkosh always delight. It’s amazing what these pilots can make an airplane do.

Grass Roots Aviation Sometimes we forget where grass root aviation comes from; grass runways, taxiways, or just open grass fields. This Stearman taxiing on grass shows us what aviation was all about in the early days.

Fairchild 71 As this year appears to be getting old, what better image than a perfectly restored Fairchild 71 in the evening light.

This Boeing Stearman Model E75 image will likely be my last of this year’s AAA fly-in.
