Went to a annual "Fly-In" at Roy E. Ray airpark today.

My wife and I spent the day at Roy E. Ray Airpark, located near Bayou La Batre, AL. A Navy buddy of mine lives there, and has a Stearman. My wife enjoyed about an hour's ride, even experiencing what it is like to fly in formation with some other Stearmans, while flying over nearby Fairhope, AL airport (who was also hosting an event). A variety of aircraft were there. Most enjoyable day! There was an unusual twin engine aircraft. My buddy said it was a Dornier? NC

Here is a link to look at the video:

Yes, that is a Dornier 28 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_28 ) - Good pics - looks like a nice day too. We were supposed to have a local airshow this weekend, but it was cancelled due to rain, rain and more rain.

those Yak paint jobs look like some ive seen here in Cali..im sure these planes didnt come all the way across the states..just makes me wonder if that is a authentic paint job then?....we have a CJ7 ( think) but i love its name not a yak.

Not to worry. If I can't actually take another one tomorrow, I can post links to videos that others take. NC

Great post Navy Chief! How long have they been putting on the flyin?
It's been a long time since I was in Bayou La Batre. I used to go there for the Blessing of the Fleet on a friends shrimp boat, the food was fantastic.

I think tomorrow's Fly In is the fifth year, but not sure. Will ask my buddy Lantz when I see him in the morning. Besides burgers, hot dogs and homemade ice cream.....there'll be a LOT of flyin' goin' on! NC
