Aug 2015 Join LadiesLoveTaildraggers at Antique Airfield, Blakesburg, Iowa
Looking for Lady Taildragger pilots who fly Classic & Antique Aircraft!
 Especially Curtiss Robin and Stinson 108’s
Antique Aircraft Association’s AAA/APM Invitational Fly-In
September 2-7, 2015
Featuring Curtiss Robin and Stinson 108 Aircraft
This year’s theme: Record setting airplanes and their pilotsÂ
This private fly-in is a spectacular annual event that honors all classic and antique aircraft. At the heart of the Antique Aircraft Association’s mission is to “Keep the Antiques Flying” and this flyin does that beautifully. Membership in the AAA is a requirement for attending the fly-in and is easy to do upon arrival and registration at Antique Airfield.
Ladies, mark your calendar to attend a fly-in that draws some of the rarest, most beautiful airplanes in the country. Where the taildraggers are astounding, and those of us not flying the most astounding, are still warmly welcomed. It’s a flyin where the people are relaxed and comfortable and the sky above this grass strip is buzzing with activity from dawn till dusk.
Ice Cream Social
Join LadiesLoveTaildraggers at Antique Airfield on Saturday, September 6, 3:00 pm for a scrumptious Ice Cream Social. We’ll be gathering at “The Porch” by the Ground Loop Inn. Come meet your fellow lady taildragger pilots, get an update on the next LLT fly-in and register for new membership. LadiesLoveTaildragger tshirts will be available for sale.Â
