Monticello Airport, IN Open House 2009
May 30-31, 2009 (Photos taken
Sunday May 31)
This was an open house to
celebrate the opening of the new terminal building at the Monticello
airport. The event was free and on Sunday there was a steady flow of
persons coming out to visit the new facility and see the warbirds on
display. It appears that this may turn into an annual event with
local and even not so local warbirds attending. The AC-47 was on its
way home from airshows the previous two weekends on the east coast.
I saw it at the Branson show as it was heading east and I was heading west
to Chino. Hopefully this event will continue into the future as the
area needs more new small aviation events to replace several of the
airshows in the area that went out of business.
