Dropped in to visit with some friends down at the Dexter Barnstormers Club last Saturday, and thought I'd post a few photos. They've got a nice spot out on the edge of the airport in Dexter, Missouri...flying from a closed runway!

The all-important conference !

An electric T-28 comes to some grief while trying to Limbo !

These folks are hard-core ! Most Limbo streamers I've seen are crepe paper...these folks use plastic surveyors tape!

Their cool Club-Pavilion with the pranged T-28 in the background...important to note that's it's bent landing gear didn't come from the Limbo attempt, but from an abrupt arrival in a later flight!

Yeah, some great flyers, and it was kind of nice not having to tend to anything other than a camera!
