Airport Daze featured a variety of planes. Beginning on the far end
is an orange and white Piper Arrow flown in by representatives of
the University of Illinois Institute of Aviation. The flight panel
in that plane offered the latest in technological advances for small
aircraft. The digitized screens replacing multiple flight instrument
gauges, communication and navigation systems provide the pilot with
a more consolidated view. The system layers provide exponential
amounts of information, which the representatives said are difficult
to get familiar with, but of great value to a pilot.

The biplane with the blue body is a
Stearman flown by Ric Woldow. Woldow, wife Lisa and family are from
Morton but will be leaving soon to work a few years for Caterpillar
in South Africa. |
Clyde Zellers owns and flew the next two
planes, a yellow AgCat used for crop dusting and a World War II
bird, the SNJ.
