Hey Everyone,While Shad's "Fly-in" (Yes, i know it's not an official event) is coming up soon, I'd like to remind everyone that our EAA Chapter is hosting a fly in next weekend that should be of interest to a lot of you.Both of Frank Pavliga's Piets are generally on display, and a lot of other vintage aircraft typically show up. Also, you'll get to look at a lot of Corvairs in 'ground mode' i.e. still in cars, and Roy of Roy's Garage will be there to talk about his fifth bearing work and other aspects of Corvair conversion. He will also inspect & measure any components you bring to determine if they are OK for conversion.Here's the official announcement:EAA 82 is having it's 4th Annual "WINGS AND WHEELS FLY-IN" on Saturday and Sunday, June 5 & 6th at BARBER AIRPORT (2D1).The field is located approximately three miles north of Alliance, Ohio on State Route 225.
