Mid-America Antique Airplane Group

The annual MAAG Fly-In was this past Saturday at Wiebe Field in Halstead, Kansas.  The Fly-In is held in conjunction with the Old Settlers Days in Halstead.  For the tenth year in the row, a flight down main street by about 16 antique and classic airplanes kicked off the parade Saturday morning.  Prior to the flight, everyone enjoyed a pancake and sausage breakfast.

We had nearly 60 airplanes on the flight line this year as the weather was the best in a long time.  Temperatures in the 80's and light winds beckoned over 200 people to the airport for a lot of food, fun, friendship, and flying. 

Airplanes were judged in 4 categories and the winners are:

Best Antique:  Jim Wiebe - Interstate
Best Classic:  Victor Riffle - L-19
People's Choice:  Dick Curtis - Fokker Tri-plane Replica
Best of Show:  Tony Martinez - Super Cub

Thanks to everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this a success!

Here are a few pictures of to tantalize you into joining us next year!

Tonight was the annual potluck dinner to conclude the preparations for the MAAG annual fly-in tomorrow.  About 50 folks attended.  The weather looks great for tomorrow morning's fly-in at Halstead, Kansas with temperatures much cooler than we have been experiencing recently.  Here are a few shots of tonight's fun.
