These friends, and a few more yet to arrive,
gather once a year for a weeklong air travel camping trip. These are
the “70 Knotters.”
|

|
Bill and Elaine Fitch from Dubuque are making
their 18th air camping trip with the 70 Knotters. Their Cessna 172
is waiting to continue the adventure. |
Phil and DeAnn Riter from Fort Wayne, Indiana
are making their 32nd air camping trip with the 70 Knotters. They
hold the record for most consecutive trips. |
|
Dan Johnston from Cambridge, Ohio is making
his 31st trip with the 70 Knotters. He is flying a Citabria.
|
These guys from Dubuque are making their first
trip with the group. From left are Nick Hirsch from Dubuque, Iowa;
Merle Meises from Galena and Bob Rogers from Dubuque in front of
their plane, a Cessna 172. |

The 70 Knotters create a new T-shirt each year
to commemorate the trip.

David and Pam Bruce, arriving from Cayuga,
Ontario, Canada in their classic Cessna 170. |

David and Pam pose in front of their beautiful
plane with the Canadian registry letters. Planes registered in the
U.S. have numbers for identification. |
David and Pam’s Cessna was built in the late 1940’s and looks as if
it just rolled out of the factory.
