3rd Annual Ultralight fly-in at High Point Airpark

Today we went to the 3rd annual ultralight fly-in at High Point Airpark. It was a lot of fun - displayed was several Part 103 ultralights and a few Light-Sport category aircraft.


This plane was new to me... I believe it is called an Ikarus. Seemed pretty cool. Had a composite-type shell for the fuselage with fabric on the wings and tail.

Here goes a Mini Max!

Onlookers watch Doug Moler in his Airebike.

Larry H with one of his high performance climb-outs.

This was cool... at the field they were interviewing Lawerance Alley for a little glimpse of his experiences in aviation. I believe he flew Corsairs during the war - probably along with other planes as well. The EAA website has a section under "Media" that has numerous clips of similar interviews with people called "Timeless Voices in Aviation," definitely worth checking out!
