John and his son, Matt Baumgartner from Illinois stopped by GVE hoping to find a few fellow pilots for a chat. Not only did they find fellowship but ended up having root beer floats with home made ice cream and a first class flight tour of Orange County Virginia in the Champ.

John Baumgartner, from Illinois, takes his first tail wheel flight. Caleb flew from the back seat and John got first hand experience flying the Champ.

Matt Baumgartner, John's son, was the experienced one as he had had time in a biplane. He also got his turn at the stick with Caleb Glick and a few wing-overs.
