2014 Fall Vintage Fly-In

CAMDEN, SOUTH CAROLINA

The Carolinas - Virginia Antique Airplane Foundation (EAA Vintage Chapter 3) hosted it's Fall Vintage Fly-In this past weekend at Woodward Field in Camden, South Carolina.  Dad and I were there for a few hours on Saturday.

They travel in pairs. . .



Jim Wilson's 1936 WACO YKS parked next to Bob Perkins' 1939 AGC-8.  This kind of style and comfort ensures a parking space close to the chow line. . .  "Ask any pilot!"



1936 in 2014.


You know you want one!

My latest obsession:

At Roxboro I drooled over Steve Roth's 1935 Fairchild 22.  Saturday I drooled over Buddy Wehman's 1939 Fleet 16B.  

  




Buddy Wehman

New Vintage. . .



Bob Coolbaugh arrived at 2 PM.  The blue and orange Pietenpol Air-Camper quickly drew a crowd---it could have been the Ryan NYP at Le Bourget. . .




I'm not sure if 40 lbs of stuff will fit in here.


The most important instrument is top dead center!

The Luscombe crowd. . .



Jim Zazas' 1946 rag-wing 8A.


Another '46 rag-wing 8A.  This one lives in Florence, South Carolina.


Vortex generators?


A beautiful 1947 8E.

Something zippy. . .



I did not speak with the owner, but the FAA says it's a 1976 Williams Monocoupe 90C with a Continental O-300 engine.  Experimental.  It looks like a lot of fun!

The Peanut Gallery:



Eddie Price, Chief Pilot & Airport Manager at Pond Branch Airfield.

Pop Cottom, Eddie & Giddy, and Don Schmotzer---the camera crew.


Pop with the Big Iron!

And finally. . .



. . . the chow line!
