I visited UL Chapter 1 this morning for the first time at their monthly “briefing”. Neat group of people looking to bring visibility to open air low and slow flying. While getting the tour of various hangars and flying critters, I saw a Flea variant I hadn’t seen before. Unique bird.

HM.1000 Ballerit, it said on the side.

And also super cool, it shared a hangar with this cool treasure:

I saw some some other cool stuff today, some sadly neglected stuff, and a poor little Airport destined to disappear. I hope it doesn’t, but Capitol Airport in Brookfield, WI is in such disrepair and nobody cares to do much with it, it seems, except for a few folks in UL1 that are trying to make their end of the field look like they care. At least as long as the Airport remains intact.
