The Western Antique Aeroplane & Automobile Museum held its annual fly-in at Hood River, OR this weekend. The fly-in was well attended and saw visits by the Western Waco Club as well as local attendees from the Northwest. A New Standard was up all day giving rides, and gliders were getting into the action too. If you're ever visiting the Portland area the museum is well worth a visit.
