A local pancake fly-in

[jordonj]

I have just joined a local EAA chapter (hopefully on the path to earning wings).

We are a homebuilt chapter (though that doesn't mean we have anything against manufactured ones).

They just had a pancake breakfast/Fly-In, and I got shots!



An Eurocoupe (a plane that has no rudder pedals)...



The unsinkable Cessna



Is this a Piper...NOPE! Think Lionheart...



The answer:



I thought I was looking at a Piper Tomahawk, but no, it's a Beechcraft Skipper!




I like to fly this in FS, but man! It is big!





A Tri-Pacer! How often do you see one of these?



Here are some Van's RVs (6s I think)...





Another view (I think this is a super pacer in the foreground, but not sure...)



And some Cessnas (wow, I never knew there were this many 140s in Michigan...)







And this is a 120 (I thought I was looking at a Bellanca or something..)



And here is an Air Camper (my favorite colors too!)



And here's another homebuilt (but with nice avionics too!)





And here are club members directing traffic:







And lastly, a couple of a KitFox...





Cheers!

I recognised the Bellanca Viking as soon as I saw the wheel "bumps" under the wings.

Lovely photos, Jordan.

Yes, very nice pictures indeed, but I think your 120 is actually a 170A or B. Tried to get my wife to let me buy her one after she got her private license, but she demurred. She doesn't like tailwheels.

Nice pictures!
I noticed that the Beechcraft Skipper is actually a Bellanca Viking . Had a skipper at our flight school but it disappeared a while back.
I kinda like the Tri-Pacer, looks like it should be a tail dragger. Have a couple down here.

But hey, where's the pancakes?!?! ;D
