Default EAA Wings and Wheels Fly-In Pics..

We had our 4th annual EAA Wings and Wheels Fly-In yesterday here in DeRidder.Our airport was a training base during WW2 for the US Army and the place hasn't changed much since 1942..There is always a good selection of privately owned planes plus some really rare Warbirds that attend every year plus yesterday the weather was perfect ..

Along with some local Stearmans there was a extremely rare P-40N and a F4U Corsair out of Dallas.Fort Polk sent one of their new Dakota's for a static display plus a Korean War era Mash Type Helo..The car show was small but had some really nice entry's..Enjoy the Pics..

Wow! That was a great event. Love the old planes and Vettes. That 56/57 is my favorite. I'd love to own a resto-mod version.
