And Finally...The Columbia, Illinois Swap Meet

So, another run up I-55, to Columbia, Illinois...about 20 minutes closer than yesterday's in Granite City.

Vince had stuff going on, so this was a solo run that almost didn't happen due to some early morning crankiness.  

Got there and met up with some of the Breezy Hill Flyers, St. Louis Dan, and some others I'd seen the day before at Granite City.  The tables were pretty sparse, but still had some stuff to look at, with several from the groovy 1960's & 70's.

This time, I DID buy a 1/2A plane...a Pipe Bomb-powered Baby Flite Streak.  Probably gonna swap out the Testors engine for a Cox backplate engine and 3/8 oz wedge tank.

Gonna copy these to my old flying buddy, Kevin.  Back when we were kids and only dreaming about being able to afford radio control airplanes, Kevin had an absolute obsession with the VK "Cherokee".

















A nice-looking Pica "Duelist"...think Bernie has one of these hanging in his office.











A fellow had this glider launching caddy







And that's it for my Swap Meet's 'till the Mert's Landing Swap on April 27th!
