31st Annual Stearman Fly-in

The Oregon Aviation History Center in Cottage Grove was the site of the 31st annual Stearman Fly-In the first weekend in August. Lloyd Stearman was a top designer of aircraft in the 20's and 30's. The Stearmans were used as trainers near the beginning of WWII. A slideshow by Kevin Clark, Register-Guard photographer, is available online at http://blogs.registerguard.com/mm/index.php/kevin-clark/comments/stearman-fly-in/

I'd have used up a bunch of memory cards there. All amazing machines! You did an incredible job showing them off!!!!

Vern, I don't think you could have done better than this gallery. It would make a good brochure for advertising the event for next year.

Super gallery Vern. Wonderful to think there are so many enthusiasts and historians to keep them flying and cared for.

What a spectacular collection of photos, Vern! How nice that this meet occurs for all the airmen to show off their planes and have a fun gathering! And how great that you knew about it, as it was a great photo opp for you! Great color and composition! Donna in TX

He Vern, too many to comment on individually but I must tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed his gallery immensely. You did a fine job of capturing all the nuances of these beautiful old aircraft.

As a Board Member of OAHS, I had the great privilege of riding in the Boeing 40C. Wow - what an awesome experience and what a story. It was a wonderful weekend and great to have the photographic memories. Thanks.

Very nice colorful shots, Vern. Lovely compositions, very clear.

Great photos of a great event! OAHS loves those Stearman. The Boeing 40C was an awesome addition and Addison Pemerton is an outstanding person and a very good pilot. We were very fortunate to have him come to Cottage Grove. Boy, did I ever enjoy my ride in the Boeing.
