🛩️ Spotlight: PT-22 Recruit
A centerpiece of the Fly-In was the PT-22 Recruit, a World War II-era primary trainer aircraft. Known for its open cockpit and distinctive radial engine, the PT-22 played a crucial role in training U.S. Army Air Forces pilots. Its presence at the event offered attendees a tangible connection to the pilots who once trained in these very aircraft.
