25 Pulses converged on Marion, Indiana this year and we had new rally hosts too.

Dan & Cindy Acker, Leo & Jan Doyle and Phil & Royce Ann Martin spent a year planning your 2013 Convention & Rally. Thanks so much to these individuals for all their hard work.

A complimentary Tenderloin Dinner was hosted by Arndt Mueller at his hangar again this year on Friday evening.

Bud Light BD-5 Jets were a regular years ago at airshows around the world.

Remember the BD-5 Jet that also flew in the opening sequence of the James Bond movie, Octopussy.

A Historic 1929 Tri-Motor Ford flew passengers at the rally.

This was a great opportunity to experience the magic of flight in the world’s first mass-produced airliner.

The Sunday Roadtrip included Grissom Air Museum
