Blankenberg's Luau at Pine Mountain Lake



We arrive at Pine Mountain Lake just before noon
There's already a long line of Luscombes in front of the Blankenbergs hangars



Even the sky was looking extra-special good for the event



Everybody loves a staggerwing



Or a Waco Cabin Plane
Roll down windows and a big honkin' steering wheel - yeee-haw!!



Inside the hangar there is just all sorts of totally cool stuff to gawk at
it's overwhelming



Up in the loft - an airstream trailer with a vintage pickup truck to haul it
You could get a sunburn off of this thing, even in here



Sultry lurxury - the Luscombe Sedan interior



Sandy our event hostess as she and Kent prepare to do a Sedan flyby



Leader of the Luscombe pack



A D-18 flyby - really cool sounds coming from those motors



A Texan over Luscombes



Time to strap on those feedsacks!



First class means - leave room for desert



Like my Happy Hour shirt?
