St. Francis, Kansas, Stearman Fly-In

Here are some pictures Leah and Dwight Brewer took at the Stearman Fly-In - St. Francis, Kansas.
 
Motorcyles paraded down main street
  
Hot Air Balloons
  
SkyDivers 
 Hang Glider
 
T6 Trainer
Used to train pilots in WWII
   
This is Tim Liewer's plane - from North Platte NE.  1936 Stinson originally owned by Bloomingdales in NY.  He found it in a "junk pile" and completely restored it - to it's current condition which looked flawless to me.....
This Stearman really put on a performance - gave the Boy Scouts rides and anyone else who wanted to ride - Flew over St. Francis until after 5 in the afternoon
 The 3 Stearman's left this morning

      It used to be the second weekend in June. The event has taken a "summer vacation" in 2011 and 2012. Hopefully the will schedule it again in the future. Visit the website for more information: http://www.stearmanflyin.org
