I’ve got to visit the next time I visit my brother in Iowa.

The Vega is in Arizona. If you’re talking about visiting Antique Airfield at Blakesburg, Iowa, the only time to visit is the first weekend in September when they have the rather wonderful fly-in, although you do need to be an AAA member to attend. On the other 361 days of the year, Antique Airfield is an empty field.

I suppose that it is much easier to just do what Yanks do at Chino, and stick notices up everywhere saying that everything in the collection is airworthy. As long as they remember to put intake blanks on all the engineless jets, they usually manage to get away with it! 😉
