2010 Fairchilds & Float Planes @ Blakesburg 2010 • Bob Punch

Here’s some shots I took of some of the beautiful Fairchild aircraft and floatplanes that made it into Blakesburg last year in spite of some pretty strong cross
winds that slowed things down for a day.  Not sure why but it always seems odd to me when float planes land on grass?
