Here is a first look at a few photos from last week and CC #35 at Barnwell, S.C. More to come as we get back in gear this week.

Above, a mint 1966 Corvair Corsa that drove in from Greenville parked with Dan Weseman’s Panther. Both engines left Tonawanda, N.Y., 50 years ago, reunited for a few hours on the ramp at Barnwell Airport.

Above Bob Lester and Steve Makish. These two old friends attended a number of early Colleges in a pair of Corvair powered KR-2s. Today Bob has his Corvair in his Pietenpol. They have known each other through 30 years of flying.

Above, the great satisfaction of an engine personally created with your own hands. Builder Mike Newman savors the hour following a perfect break in run on his engine. The 2,700 cc engine will power his Pietenpol.

The Panther and Ken Pavlou’s 601XL are both in the background. Although it was rainy on Sunday, most of the weather at the College looked like this and was much warmer than years past.

Just reiterating Dan’s comments. Great experience and what a way to learn. Been attending Oshkosh since 1989, this was my second Barnwell and third CC. CC is by far a much better builder’s experience than OSH.
Grace and William, thanks for sharing all your time, knowledge and the effort you put into making CC(s) such great events. Rachel and Dan, thanks for sharing all your expertise in helping make this a great event.
Finally! PF, Tim and Don. True southern hospitality at it’s very best! Yes Tim, I know your are from Pennsylvania, but PF and Don have taught you well.
Had a great time as always, thanks PF, Tim, Don and all the crew at Barnwell, Dan-o
