The Flyers or Tires Fly-In and Car Show was held at Fremont Airport with over 30 planes and 125 cars on the display.

Warm temperatures and sunny skies Saturday made for a perfect day to watch small planes land and take off and view classic cars at the same time.

One of the featured planes was a Hatz Bantum biplane, hand-built by Skip Honsberger of Fremont.

Modeled after a Hatz Classic designed in Duluth, Minnesota, construction of the plane began in 2009 and was finished in 2021.

It is powered by a Rotech radial engine.

According to Honsberger, “I fly when the weather is real nice. It has about 40 hours on it now. I’m just about ready to take up a passenger, if they’re brave enough.”
