As many of you know, I am a partial owner, along with twelve other people, of a private Fly-In community in South Carolina.
As part of the South Carolina Breakfast Club, we have an annual fund-raising event.
Yesterday was OUTSTANDING. Not only around sixty planes but the best assortment ever.
Besides the usual array of Pipers, Cessnas, and many RVs, we had some great warbirds and a warbird replica.
Two AT-6s, one T-34, a North American Navion and a three-quarter scale Mustang, powered an aluminum small-block Corvette engine.
In the "strange" department, one fellow flew in in a homebuilt autogyro!
One of the most beautiful homebuilts I've ever seen, built by Kimberly (Delaney) Panos.

Here are a few more.
These were taken by a friend and so far, I've found only one RV. As I recall, there were around four, including two RV-10.

Found on Youtube.
Good action at the beginning and around 22:00.

The Piper J-3 Cub was an outgrowth of the the E-2 Cub that started production in the late 1920's by C.G. Taylor, then went through a revision to the J-2 when William Piper bought the company, then was revised into the J-3 in late 1937 /early 1938. Production stopped in 1947. I remember reading somewhere that Piper Aircraft was still building them to order today. Many other companies have produced "Cubs" in many variants in the last 50 years also.
Type at you later,

Speaking of full scale, speaking of antiques, Here is my entry. Looks like I'm getting ready to give a ride to a friend.

You boys in South Carolina know how to live!
My dad learned how to fly in a J2 Cub with a tailskid, out of a farmers field in Michigan. The Army Air Corps offered civilian pilot training for young men who promised to join the Air Corps when needed, which he did in 1940. Great to see them still flying.

A few more.
The two AT-6s did an amazing job of turning Avgas into noise!!

That was a great video. Trying to figure out how he shot the 3/4 front view of the airplane on final landing approach to the show.
Were there two Luscombes? The cream & red one and the dull silver (aluminum?)
I know it was Fly In, but the Ferrari looked good too!
Of course, gotta love the RV's, the Cubs & the "Milk Stool"
Looking forward to seeing you at the Fly-In in Carmichaels next month!

Milk stool????
A few more photos!

Piper Tri-Pacer, the flying milk stool!

I am completely shocked to find out that the full size Piper Cub was yellow (not!)... when I repainted my model airplane piper cub I painted it japanese green with japanese markings just to be different. I have not found any pictures of a full size painted this way but at least my Piper Cub model airplane does not look like every other model out there.
I used the paint and decals that I had in the shop when It came time to recover the Hanger Nine ARF Piper Cub. At this point the model was being flown with brushed electric power (astroflight) that is why you don't see a engine cylinder.
The Navion and the RV-4 would be my favorite
