EAA Breakfast at LC Airport - July 15, 2000

Another great day for getting the cars out on the road, tops down and visiting with other folks. Normally the experimental planes are flown in but this Sunday was more special because we got to opportunity to see some of Colonel Frank Borman's planes. In addition he flew the F86, making several passes just before landing. We also saw the inside of his hangars and visited with him and his wife personally.

Hangar where breakfast is served.

Great looking cars! The young and the old

British Car Club members came out in force.
