Dick makes a good point in suggesting this fly-in. I think Mark Langford will attest to this also, as he attended last year. Urbana is roughly in the center of IL. Frasca simulator plant (they provide tours) is on the field, as well as a very nice museum. Real grass roots flying. Lots of hanger talk. About the only speedy homebuilts attending last year were a bunch of tailwinds and a couple RVs. A nice variety of other slower homebuilts were there also - Piets, etc. At this point in time, the SAA organization is not too big and is non-commercial. William had a Corvair seminar as well. Paul Poberezny was even out helping mow the grass. :o) It'd be great to see a formation of KRs coming in.
