September 21, 2013 - Essex Skypark Wings & Wheels Fly-In
|
|
It's that time of the year again. It's time for the aviation extravanganza event of the year: the Essex Skypark Wings and Wheels Fly-In.
I volunteered the family to man the entrance. Here is my team, under my close supervision.

I gave a ride to a friend's daughter. Her first time in a small airplane. She liked it.
|
| |
 |
|
| Another ride for the same friend's brother. He liked it too but was happy to be on the ground with the ride behind him. |

Looking north.
|
| |
 |
|
| Looking south. |
| |
 |
|
| The radio-controlled airplane guys were out in force. |
| |
 |
|
| There was a big helo presence this year, including a police and news helicopter. |
| |
 |
|
|
Visitors from other airports. All my favorite airplanes were here:
|
| |
 |
|
| Citabrias, RVs, Kitfoxes. |
| |
 |
|
|
Even some bigger iron.
|
| |
 |
|
| Gotta like this big Avion "Spirit of Baltimore Hon". |
| |
 |
|
| A little Zodiac. |
| |
 |
|
| Brian's RV-8. |

I've seen this SuperCat at various local fly-in's over the years.
|
| |
 |
|
| There were some show cars as well. |

|
| Rob's SeaRey in Maryland colors and brightly decked out hangar. |

 |
|
| Some airport regulars hanging out in front of a homebuilt Rotoway helicopter. |
| |
 |
|
| |
| Hayrides were available. |
| |
 |
|
|
And the band played on.
|
| |
 |
|
| Tom K. liked driving the tractor. |
| |
 |
|
| |
| The AirCam gave rides continuously, including to local politicians who stopped by. |
| |
 |
|
|
Fly-in is over. Time to go back in the hangar.
