It seems like such a long time ago now that we were dealing with high temperatures and
high density altitudes in the Midwest. In recent days we have begun to wake up to frost

performance of our wings and engines. That, however, didn't stop the town, the people,
and the organizations around the Crawfordsville Regional Airport from coming out to put
on a great event. It seems the entire community wanted to come out and show their

local aviators are community minded. Read more…
