| Blakesburg, Iowa - Bearings that are very well known to any antique airplane aviator, owner, and enthusiast were set on the compass needles of many flying gems that show every Labor Day weekend at one of the most genuine and laid-back Fly-Ins in the country. The destination is Antique Airfield, a rustic grass airport with no unicom or designated traffic frequency. Pilots navigate the traffic pattern just like it was done in the 1930's and 40's by using standard pattern procedures, constant visual, and paying attention to the ground team that uses red and green flags. The Antique Aircraft Association welcomes all who cherish the golden years of aviation and whose mornings are perfect only with the smell of the coffee and aircraft engine oil. Read more…
