2011 Travel Air Reunion

A summary from Jerry Impellezzeri

We have just completed another Travel Air Reunion, this year at Independence, Oregon and it was a great success... this year we had five Travel Air's attend... with many people coming long distances to be there, some in their Travel Air, some in personal aircraft, some by car and some by commercial airlines. I want to thank especially Brian & Carol Dalton for being our host and I want to thank all who came and shared this time together! See highlights of the Reunion in photos here.
