I'm curious if anyone out there has flown (or driven) in to the AAA
fly-in near Blakesburg, IA over labor day weekend. My understanding is
that to fly-in one must be invited, but is the whole show by
invitation only? (for those of us unwashed masses who fly 172's, they
must keep the riff-raff out!).
It sounds like a fascinating group of aircraft (and pilots), but their
web-site says next to nothing about it. I guess I'd like to check it
out, but not if I'm crashing a private party...

I have flown into there in the past -- yes, it is for antiques &
classics only. The airfield is, at best, rustic sod, with dips and
valleys in the runway and trees at both ends. It also does not have a
lot of display parking -- the field is too small.
IMHO, Bob Taylor had a good thing and let it go to seed. Incidentally, I
am a life member of AAA and have not had a communication from them in
years.
