March MAAG at Wiebe Airfield

The weather wasn't quite what the forecasters predicted a few days ago, with blustery winds and temperatures only near 50. Despite that, a few hardy souls flew into Wiebe Field at Halstead, Kansas today for the March meeting of MAAG. Many others opted for ground transportation. Nearly 40 folks enjoyed Mark's talent at the grill as they savored the hamburgers and hot dogs he prepared. There were also a lot of good side dishes and deserts brought by fellow members. The brownies were especially good!

 

Beautiful T-Craft

John Frisbie flew in from Udall, Kansas in his beautiful 1940 Taylorcraft. It is a model BC-65.

 

Boeing Stearman PT-17


Kevin Pullum, from Goddard, Kansas, flew in to Halstead in his 1943 A75N1 (PT-17). Probably a very chilly flight!

 

More Airplanes that Flew In




John and Judy Kliewer flew their 1946 Cessna 120 to Wiebe Field. Note the efforts to keep heat in the engine compartment.

Wayne Bormann arrived in his Cessna 150.

We also had a 1999 Aviat A-1B in attendance.

 

A Naked Stearman

Mark Wiebe is in the middle of recovering this Stearman biplane owned by Randy Hardy. The fuselage is parked outside to make room for the tables and chairs in the hangar. The wings are finished and look great.
