Blakesburg Antique Aircraft Association Fly-In

If you ever get a chance to attend this very special event, don't
hesitate. (Ryan, are still interested in coming down?)


I'd love to, but family obligations have really put the smack down on
extra-curricular flying lately, with a 5 month old at home. I'm toying
with the idea of selling my 172 and going open-cockpit biplane!
But I will have to pass, despite my inner desire to jump in and go
now, it is gorgeous outside!!!
Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it!

Understand completely. Other than one big flight to Michigan for my
sister's 60th birthday, we've barely left the ground since Oshkosh.
Busy, busy, busy.

I'd like to say "there's always next year", but Blakesburg is one of
those gems that, I'm afraid, may not survive much longer. AAA
(unlike EAA) has not made provisions for its founder's demise, and
he's older than dirt. Because of their profoundly anti-commercial
stance, there is no profit in running the show, so...

Most of the people at Blakesburg are wondering what will happen when
old Bob flies west... Some think his kids will carry on, but no one
really knows. Long story short: Don't wait too many more years, if
you want to see it!
