I took the morning after labor day to spend at the airport, shooting pictures and hanging out with the airplanes. For the day after a holiday, there was a lot of flying activity. A classic Piper Cub was pulled out of a nearby hangar and the owner was doing touch and goes and pattern work. Below are some of the shots from the day.

I didn't catch the registration number on this airplane, so I am not sure what it is.
One of three banner-tug Piper Super Cubs that were working that day. It was something to see them snatch the banners.

This Piper J3C-65 Cub (NC3561K) was a real treat to watch in action.
