September 4, 2023It’s tough to be pleased about needing to fly around poor weather, that is unless the diversion directs you to this airport and a very welcoming airport manager. Del is one neat guy with a beautiful taildragger. Such rich documented history of so many planes that made this place a stop to or from AirVenture. Certainly not the final time I’ll see this location.
