Just a little more detail on the SAA.... Until this year, I've attended this event at Urbana IL. at Frasca Field. A 5400' paved runway, with a 3200 sod strip. The location of Frasca Intl. the manufacturer of the most advanced flight simulators built. Operated by the Frasca family with the support of Paul and Audrey Poberzny... Truly a grass roots event, with good food at very reasonable prices, catered by a local EAA chapter. Forums by different pilots about different airplanes and the displays of the Frasca collection as well as the many fly-ins... 2 1/2 days of pleasure with no outside vendors.... or loud noises (except airplanes). Entertainment has been visiting with other pilots from all over the country. Paul and Rudy started the SAA to continue the grass roots environment that started EAA.... With Paul's age and the efforts to bring this to happening, the last year has been done by the Frasca family with Paul's blessing and the thanks of many devoted just PLANE people... May it continue!
Thanks for the time.... jw Joe. E.
