Our airport hosted the American Barnstormers Tour 2010 June 17-19th. Here are a few photos I took from the event. They have a website www.americanbarnstormerstour.com , and are still on tour in SD, ND, and MN.

The best part of the whole show, I got to go on the last flight of the green aircraft in the first picture. Nothing compares to a sunset flight in an open cockpit biplane with a big ole radial.

Beautiful aircraft, beautiful shots Davy. I noticed on the web site that David Mars owns one of the 1929 Travel Air 4000 in the tour. He used to own the local bowling alley and I taught his son Charlie guitar lessons for a while back in '93. Small world. The bowling alley was located at the airport across the street from the Southern Airways office where my Dad used to work before they moved to KPIB. Thanks for sharing.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Funny you mention that, as he also owned the bowling alley I used to frequent in Picayune. The whole time they were here, I was trying to figure out where I knew him from, didn't figure it out until the last evening.

I did not know that. When were you there and did you know Robert Lightsey?

Name doesn't ring a bell. I grew up in Picayune, and moved to Iowa in 2006.

He managed the Mississippi Music store. I believe in the early eighties or late seventies.

Some beautiful vintage types there. I must confess that I don't recognise most of them.
