Default PIREP - National Stearman Fly-In

Every September the Stearmans fly home to roost in Galesburg, IL (KGBG)
for a week under the waning, late-summer, Midwestern sun. This year
they were greeted by absolutely picture-perfect weather, and many
appreciative spectators.

Last Thursday, we were among them. Best of all, this group's own
Montblack was able to join us for the short flight from Iowa City to
Galesburg, where we spent an entire day immersed in biplane heaven.
The sky was azure blue, puffy white clouds, light winds, warm
temperatures -- and dozens and dozens of the prettiest biplanes on
earth.

See http://www.alexisparkinn.com/nationa...man_fly-in.htm for pix
and a couple of videos... If you ever get a chance to see this
marvelous little gathering, it's truly worth the flight.
