Antique Airplane Association To Host Invitational Fly-In

BLAKESBURG, IOWA – One of the best venues for inspiring interest in aviation today, as well as throughout the last 100-plus years of flight, can be found in entertainment venues, such as movies and airshows. Those venues feature not only today’s modern aerobatic, military and general aviation aircraft, but also a number of antique, classic and replica aircraft. Many antique/classic aircraft from movies like, “The Great Waldo Pepper,” “The Rocketeer” and “Amelia” have attended past AAA/APM fly-ins. Likewise many of the great aerobatic pilots like Price, Cole, Rhinehart, Neuman and many others have spent time at Antique Airfield, along with the airplanes they flew, classic aerobatic aircraft like 450 Stearmans, Taperwing Wacos, Monocoupes, Clipwing T-crafts, Buckers, Great Lakes, and others!

The Antique Airplane Association (AAA) and Air Power Museum (APM) will host an invitational fly-in, August 27 thru September 1, 2014, with the theme “Stars of the Sky & Screen.”  Also to be featured will be Great Lakes and Interstate aircraft.

The Antique Airplane Association and the Air Power Museum AAA/APM are headquartered at Antique Airfield (IA27) near Blakesburg, Iowa. This “By the Members/For the Members” event is held on a privately-owned airport that receives no federal, state or local monies. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in antique aircraft.
