DC-3 75th Anniversay Tour – Day 2 from Hiller Aviation Museum
We started day two with a great breakfast at the Stearman Field Café with two DC-3's and a gorgeous Stearman sitting outside the window. There were only two DC-3's (97H and 41HQ) because the C-47 got an early start and was airborne before we even got to the airport.
The main topic of discussion at breakfast was the line of thunderstorms between us and Rock Falls Illinois, our next stop. We finally agreed that we would be able to head out if we deviated south towards St. Louis and then up to Rock Falls. ...

On a sultry June Sunday, I found myself enroute to Wisconsin's Burlington Airport (BUU) at the invitation of one Rob Bach. It was a muggy Wisconsin morning, heavy with the scent of fresh cut grass. BUU, one of those lovely little fields with both a sod runway and a paved one, makes an ideal place for a taildragger adventure and the weather that morning was simply perfect. The kind of day where if it didn't go well, all of the turbulence would be of the pilot induced variety. Like a (moderately) good student, I'd done a little reading in advance. Rolling up to the hangar door, I couldn't help wishing I'd had the time to do a little more…
