Dan, Yes, Paul Poberezny started the SAA (Sport Aviation Association) sometime around 1999, I think, and published a magazine called "To Fly". His friend, Rudy Frasca, close friend of Poberezny's, offered his airport, Frasca Field, Urbana, IL, to hold Fly-Ins for the organization, a grass-roots aviation event. The organization didn't last but a few years, perhaps due to inadequate funding. Even though SAA folded, Rudy offered to continue having a fly-in around the 2nd weekend in June. He (actually his son) has continued to send letters of invitation to former members each year since. Last year, I believe, it was held June 11th and 12th. Rudy has a very interesting small museum of airplanes, engines, etc. on the field as well as a modern factory that makes simulators. He usually offers tours of the factory during the Fly-In. One year Mark Langford and Mark Jones flew their KRs to the fly-in and gave a short seminar on KR building. William Wynne was also there at least one year to give a seminar on Corvair engines.
