Freedom Fest 2019

I've gotten way behind in posting to this blog and I am now trying to catch up.

On July 6, 2019, we attended the Freedom Fest airshow at the Goshen Municipal Airport in Indiana.

The event began with a group of skydivers.




The first barnstorming demonstration was by Susan Dacy in her Super Stearman biplane "Big Red" which she rebuilt while in high school.
