 Buchan Field Fly-in.

The Buchan Field Fly-in was very well attended. On the right is a Navy N3N-3 built in 1941 and one of a number of vintage aircraft on display.
Also on display were experimental aircraft as well as conventional light aircraft. It was good to see that families with young children were there giving them an education in aviation.
There were also display booths from various local civic organization, such as The Historic Society, the Arts Alliance, and the Civil Air Patrol to name a few. 
The breakfast tent was doing a brisk business not only
for the people who flew in but also for a large percentage of the spectators.
