Runway 9 Rantoul Airport, "Elliott Field", by Peter Birren from 4500 feet agl. Note the gliders near the tree line. I think this was the weekend the Michigan pilots came down to fly, and we had about 20 pilots in the air at one time. Also note the rare C-131 cargo plane on the left and the B-47 in the lower right. The hangar in the upper left is the Octave Chanute Museum which features many aircraft on display outside as well as several others inside, including a B-58 Hustler. Shortly after taking this shot, Rudy Frasca came by in his Spitfire to check us out and say HI!

What an awesome day!
