RCA's tradition has been to hold the summer fly-in on the first Saturday in July. This year, it meant we were able to celebrate the 4th of July with all of our friends who stop by for the annual event.

On this day, the American Legion Post 319 dedicated a Veterans' Memorial in nearby Casco, WI. Before the parade, some of the participants stopped at RCA for breakfast. Some the of the aircraft at the Fly-In were also asked to perform a fly-by at the ceremony.

An aircraft from the Rio Creek Fly-In flies over the new Veterans' Memorial in Casco. We'd like to thank the American Legion Post 319 for the opportunity to be part of this special event. Thanks especially to all the veterans of the United States Military, past and present, for keeping us safe and free!
We look forward to seeing you next year! Mark your calendars:

At the end of the day, we found out Earl was taking his job (taking out the trash) way too seriously.
