Group of 6 pilots from Kansas City, all in home-built Experimental planes, put on quite a show.  These all work at other jobs and this is a hobby for them.
The 24-hour Medi-Flight helicopter that is stationed at the hospital across the street from our house was on display before the air show.  Visited a bit with the two nurses - they say they work 24 hour shifts every other day for 5 days at a time.


 This plane, made in the 1940's one of the last for World War II was flown by Clarinda Native Harry Barr and put on quite a performance.


Good sized crowd in attendance for the breakfast and also for the Air Show.
Will be getting our travel trailer hooked up, final loading done and all systems checked out tomorrow ready to pull out for Saylorville Lake north of Des Moines on Tuesday morning.

Oh yeah, latest picture from Facebook of Great Granddaughter and her new puppy.

Later, Lynn
