Camping by Ultralight Aircraft

Just retuned from a short camping trip with my Challenger ultralight. It was a great way to fly somewhere different and enjoy the fun of camping with an airplane. This trip was with a buddy flying his challenger also. We touched down at a small farm with a small grass strip. After setting up tents and gear we flew around the area flying low over the corn and doing touch and goes.

Camping by aircraft is popular at fly-ins but a great way to enjoy your airplane and try somthing different is flying to one of the many small private landing strips found out in the country. This small farm was owned by a flyer who had lots of local freinds who would fly in every sunday morning for coffee and some flying . My freind who flew with me on this trip new the owner and although he was gone for the day we arrived told us to make ourselves at home.

You can find these small grass strip owners though your flying clubs and through other flyers. They are usually tickeled to have someone come in and see there little private airport and you get to meet new folks.

The weather was great for camping and flying and when we packed up and left the owner flew along with his plane around the area and showed us the strips of his flying buddys so we might set down there with our planes in the future if we desired.

Almost every plane you can build is on display. EAA menbers from around the country and foreign fly in to this show by the hundreds. The warbirds area alone will have over 100 planes.

Every afternoon has a three hour airshow with many of the top airshow performers along with an amazing war bird show.

The first day of the show. WhiteKnight Two, the private space flight mothership designed by Burt Rutan, an EAA menber, will be at hand to check out up close. Others include the Airbus A380 and so many more famous aircraft to mention.

If you have had the dream to build an aircraft, get to this show and get going.
Most any plane is here, kit-built, plans-built and already built, along with workshops and all the other toys.
