A fun and friendly grassroots fly-in
The Grassroots Fly-In is “a family, fun atmosphere where people not only fly their antique and classic airplanes in, but they fly them throughout the fly-in, said Midwest Antique Airplane Club President Justin Niemyjski. “It’s where guys share rides and let their friends fly their airplanes. You don’t find that happening very often.”
