Cubs and Classics at Thun Field

Thun Field on Saturday August 24 was the site of the Cub and Classic Fly In.  Participants had to pass through Spencer Air to participate. For $20 they could buy a T–shirt and get a barbecue chicken dinner.

Among the Cubs, Super Cubs, Champs, Stearmans, and other assorted planes was the DC-3 that Eric Thun and Dan Merritt restored. Eric noted the plane had sold and would be leave the area to a California buyer on Sunday. After seven years of ownership, it was time to let go. The DC-3 was beautifully restored, but at 100 gallons an hour, extremely expensive to fly.
