Aviators from around the Midwest gathered at the 41st Annual Salem Aerobatic Contest last weekend at Salem-Leckrone Field in central Illinois. The Mid-West Region event is sponsored by Chapter 61 of the International Aerobatic Club (IAC), a division of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), headquartered in Oshkosh , WI. Possibly the longest-running competition of its kind, the Salem Aerobatic Contest provides an opportunity for member pilots to demonstrate their flying skills for objective evaluation by their peers, at times leading to advancement within the skill levels. The Aero Experience was privileged to be on site Friday and Sunday, visiting with the participants and the airport community who made this year's contest a great success.
