There is a reason that ANN dubbed the annual Arlington Fly-In
the Friendly Fly-In -- no other event produces as positive a vibe
as Arlington and does it with such consummate professionalism...
and yeah, its chock full of aviation goodness, to boot.

ANN sent two of our best folks to Arlington this year, to enjoy
and document the sites, sounds, stories and personalities of
Arlington 2009. ANN E-Media producer Paul Plack and Videographer
Nathan Cremisino wore out a lot of shoe leather but came back with
big grins on their faces and a sincere appreciation for a Fly-In
that "is run awfully well."
One of the major aspects of a Fly-In, especially one that has
been part of the EAA Chapter landscape for decades, is the allure
of aircraft judging... that of bringing your pride and joy, whether
it be antique, classic, homebuiilt, warbird, LSA, or other type of
aircraft and seeing if its as well-cared-for as you think it
is.
An event like Arlington has an extensive judging staff, folks
who have devoted many years of their lives to all things aviation
and who have developed the peer respect to be accorded the honor
and responsibility of evaluating other pilot/owner's "Pride and
Joys."
There is a lot of effort to the process, accompanied by an
exceptional of professionalism -- and over the years, a pretty
expert system has been established to verify that you're being
judged by folks who know what they're talking about -- and who
respect what you've done with your treasured aircraft. Here's a
look at how this all worked at Arlington 2009.
