MONROE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – Several planes took to the skies at a Monroe County farm.

David Haney has airplanes parked in his front yard. Members of the area chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association flew into Haney’s airstrip this weekend, which he constructed during the early 1980s.

Some arrived on Friday and pitched their tents next to their planes. This is the third year Haney has hosted his fellow EAA members.

“I started flying in ’78 and bought a plane and just wanted a place to keep it closer to home so I built a little air strip here and over the years it’s grown and improved and then I started to have people in and come over and visit,” Haney said. “And a few years ago we started hosting a EAA flyin every year.”

The EAA chapter tries to meet about once a month.
