Zenith FLY-IN  Gathering

(photos taken by Zenair Newsletter staff)

The weather was perfect.  The temperature was ideal.  And then, builders who clearly excelled at their craft of airplane building arrived, one by one. The paint jobs were far beyond the typical. So there was plenty to see for both the experienced and new builder.  And then they served good food. But, let me not spoil the event with my words that fall short; let the pictures do the talking!
