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?
