Three acro airplanes (and one Flybaby) showed up at Tara Field for practice.
Gordon Clement flew his Bucher Jungmann and received some great critiquing by
Marty Flournoy. Marty got a couple of cracks at the box, and Johnny
Cargill gave it a go after a couple of years away from the sport.
Everybody had fun.

Turns out that many years ago these two airplanes did an airshow routine linked with an eight-foot chain. (Formation, of course.) |

Airplane has been rebuilt several times... good German engineering, though. |
