It was glorious weather, about 76 degrees. But the wind was blowing at about 30 mph and that made it seem even cooler out there. What a contrast to the searing heat we've had in Havasu for the past month.
We got up there a little late, because we didn't realize the show had a closing time of 3pm. All the cars on display had left, and so did the farm tractors. But the planes were there and the Mustang was still out giving rides for $50.
The gentleman who owns this airfield just south of the Grand Canyon has a magnificent collection of old military planes and crop dusters, so we were happy to see those.
This Ford Tri-Motor is a very old one, built in the 1920's. The Grand Canyon Scenic Tours used to give rides in one starting in 1929.
But I think our biggest thrill was the Mustang. It was doing fly-by's as we arrived and it's a very loud fast plane.
