John Miltner's grandfather with his homebuilt. This was identified by Dave Tharp to be a Heath Parasol, a popular kit plane in the late 1920's. It used a converted Henderson
4-cylinder inline motorcycle engine, considered extremely reliable at the time.

The 1997 Fly-In of the Sport Aircraft Association of Australia (SAAA) at Langley Park in Downtown Perth, Australia. Langley Park was the site of the original airport in Perth, and now spends most of its days as athletic fields. Every three years, the soccer goals are cleared out of the way and the SAAA are invited back for a Fly-In to celebrate the old days. The grass strip is about 1500 meters long (that's 4900 feet to us Yanks) but the approaches can be rather exciting. It appears that CASA* standard 50 foot trees have been planted all around the airstrip. This photo was taken by Graham Byass from a Bell 47 Helicopter. You can even see the skid in the lower left corner. Graham delivered this photo to Chapter 1000 in person when he stopped by to visit for a day on his way to Oshkosh 1997. Graham has since demonstrated what a smart guy he is by joining Chapter 1000, and is now commanding Det 10, Perth, Australia.
*CASA - Civil Aviation Safety Authority Australia--their equivalent to the FAA. Now don't ask why there is not an additional A on the end of the abbreviation but that is the way it is.
