Cruising the neighborhood

Postby Bryan Cotton » Fri Jun 06, 2014 9:43 pm

We were working on Matthew's loft bed and after Adam said he wanted to take a break and go for a golf cart cruise. Took some pics.
J3 and Beech 18

Maybe a Baby Ace? I think it used to have a rotec radial.

J3 (a different one - they are like mosquitoes here).

An old airplane with a Kinner 3 cylinder. It flies often.

Correction on the previous post. I don't think Kinner made a 3 cylinder. Maybe it is an Anzai or something.

The Wings and Wheels museum had their big summer festival today. No Sonexes flew in. The Stearman guys did their thing.

Cabin Waco formation flyby. We were on the wrong runway and I started it about 20 seconds too soon but here it is anyway.
