Fly-in for Lunch

The annual Wings, Wheels and Keels event occurred today at Hummel Airfield in Topping just across the Rappahannock River Bridge.  More than 200 show cars and 40 antique boats were on display as well as an unknown number of diverse aircraft.  Live bluegrass, carnival food and rides added to the excitement.

Fortunately for these hungry pilots, Carter's Creek is cleared for floatplane landings so they ventured over after the show for a bite at The Tide's Inn.  The small beach is just large enough to accommodate the four planes that landed.  Needless to say, word on the creek spread quickly and the planes drew plenty of onlookers by land and water.
