There is a small airfield on the Eastern Shore known as Campbell Field located in Weirwood. The have a regular even called “Soup on Sunday” and in the sumer it can be quite busy. This weekend was especially so. There were a number of Grummans, Cessnas, and Bonanzas as well a pair of Piper Cubs and an RV-8.

All eyes - and ears - turned skyward when the sound of a round engine was recognized. Soon, we watched as a beautify 300HP Stearman in Army colors settled in on the grass runway. The pilot and owner was greeted by all and it was evident he had the coveted “top airplane” spot. Well, at least for a while.

An hour or so later another round engine was heard. It was fast and not as easy to identify until it was closer. Then we all watched as a bright yellow Beech Staggerwing made a beutiful short field landing. The plane was swarmed as if it were a pollen laden flower.

Zen had been eyeing the food table but finally gave up any hope of scraps (everyone was hungry). So, she did what every girl at the field had done before her - she walked over to the two best planes to get her picture taken.
