Brady Holderread invited us to the little Airport he is based at just south & west of Kokomo, Indiana. Glenndale Airport has a real nice North & South grass strip. This place is a hot bed of Sport Aviation. We met allot of real nice folks who fed us lunch and showed us a real nice time. We took the opportunity to take a few photographs of the twin 11AC Chiefs. Thank you Brady for a wonderful day! If you get the chance visit (8I3) Glenndale sometime & say hello to Brady Holderread & 11AC Chief - NC85805.

People keep on asking about the baggage sling. I should have cleaned out my compartment before the photo, but it was during the annual inspection and a bit messy! Color is close to original but of course, that depends on your computer monitor settings.
