Fred Johnsen, the force behind the Airailimages YouTube channel and General Aviation News‘ Of Wings & Things columnist, sent in this video shot at the Hood River Fly-In.
About 250 airplanes gathered at the airport in Hood River, Oregon, on Sept. 11-12, 2021, for the annual fly-in, which is a Pacific Northwest tradition, Fred reports.
Hosted by the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum, the fly-in is laid back — no air show aerobatics, no announcer on a loud PA system — just lots of interesting and varied aircraft, brought by interesting pilots and crews who came to congregate with each other and the public.
“This is friendly aviation at its best,” Fred says.
Interesting that most of the landings (@ 7+ min, right to left) were down-wind, and the wind sock was not hanging straight down.
