Deke Slayton Airfest 2005
 
June 17-19 – La Crosse, Wisconsin Airport
 
Deanne Romaine (right) really appreciates the shade under the bimini top of husband Tom's new facility which replaced his 14-foot Tin Skiff.
 
Airfest is always held during the three or four hottest June days, requiring crews to be under way up to six hours a day, with maybe one break.
