Video From the 1992 and 1997 Monocoupe Fly-Ins

I received two VHS video tapes from Rolf Birke in Germany.  One each from the 1992 and 1997 Monocoupe Club fly-ins held at Creve Coeur airport.

I was able to assemble the necessary equipment to play and convert these video tapes to digital and have been editing them and uploading to Youtube.

The 1992 fly-in is in four parts.

Part 1 includes lots of high speed clipwing fly-bys, John McCulloch in N101H and Bud Dake in his clipwing NX1161.  D-145 NC11733. Red Lerille in clipwing N546W. Jerry Ferrel in Model 90A NC11761.
