| Fighters ready to fly off on a dawn patrol |
| Gardner, Kansas is located about 10 miles south of Olathe, Ks and just off of I-35. The annual "Gathering of Eagles" is held here every year on Fathers Day weekend (Friday and/Saturday) in June. This is a premium event for WWI style planes and ground military memorabilia. You'll find Nieuports (11s & 12s), Fokkers, Se5A, DeHavalind DH-2, an Air-Bike and many other planes. For more information, read Dick Starks' article "Back to Gardner" in KITPLANES May 2003 issue. |
