Here's some great pictures from Gail Schipper of Longmont, Colorado (KLMO) flying her Bücker Jungmann - and more! First picture from a flight a few weeks ago. The first warm evening of the year and I happened to find a little Champ to buzz -- after an appropriate...
Oh, what a weekend! My Rans S7 had an invitation to tag along with a friend's Rans S7 Saturday for a couples overnight to Lake Barkley State Park Airport in central Kentucky. A loose formation flight sounded like a lot of fun for the 205...
