Sentimental Journey Wakeup Call

[OldCuby]

Those of us who have attended and camped over the years at the Sentimental Journey may recall the sweet sound of the Kinner Fleet biplane at dawn. Looks like this plane will sadly no longer fly. From this article,

The aircraft is also noisy, sort of a flying John Deere tractor. Breiner made good use of that quality at the Sentimental Journey Fly-in in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, which he attended 25 years in a row. “I’d get up early in the morning, before sunrise, and wipe away the dew,” he recalls. “I’d taxi down that runway, and I’d wait until the sun would just break over the horizon. And I’d take off in the stillness of the morning and fly over the campground and wake everybody up.”
