Blakesburg!

- Every Labor Day weekend, about 350 airplanes descend on Antique Airfield, about 180 idyllic acres of gently rolling Iowa grass just west of Ottumwa, for the Antique Airplane Association’s annual invitation-only fly-in. The pilots, along with family and friends, are there for one reason - to enjoy themselves. Some people stay in locafl motels, while many others camp to get the full experience. Over the six days of the event, there’s not much of a schedule. Attendees eat, nap, watch airplanes, visit with old friends, and make new friends, too. For more about AAA and Blakesburg, see the December 2019 issue of EAA Sport Aviation.
Just watched this story, and it brought back many fond memories. I grew up about 4 miles NW of here, and as a kid, I watched the planes fly over my home. Inspired me to go into aviation as a career and have enjoyed being an aerospace engineer for the past 30 years. Thank you for the inspiration, BAA!
Always enjoy being able to cover these great people and aircraft.
Love it!
I SURE would LOVE to visit this airfield BEFORE I start pushing up daisies!!!!!!!!
Wonderful to see all the classic planes. Enjoyable report with great footage, thank you.

@Zander Dillon i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Zander Dillon it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you really help me out !
@Sterling Braden no problem xD
That's pretty cool
That’s has to be the best fly in ever!
Old planes... cars, bikes, trucks, steamers... all of them need preservation
Celtis Africana yes
Wonderful story but, you are using too much volume on your background music. I would prefer no background music.

What is the highly polished plane that appears at 1:14 and again in the final seconds?

Does anyone know the name of the green biplane at 00:24 ?
WACO 9, 10 or mostly a GXE. 95% Sure.
