Visitors

During the summer of 2005 and again in the spring of 2006, local residents were treated to the sight of an Antonov AN-2, the worlds largest bi-plane. The owners flew into La Porte Municipal Airport from Alaska and parked their airplane in front of the hanger, dwarfing the Pipers, Grummans, Cessnas and other more common aircraft. When the owners flew to Chambers County Airport across the bay, several local residents, seeing the very large airplane overhead, drove to the airport to take pictures and to see the airplane close up. The Antonov's size was accentuated by the two small airplanes flying in formation with it: a Globe Swift, flown by owner John Cross, and a Smith Mini-Plane, flown by owner Lt. Col. Christopher "Bloke" Maurer, USAF.
