When Frieda Haerer (at the center holding flowers) and her three young children ended their plane trip from Frankfurt, Germany, this morning they found an enthusiastic welcoming group waiting at the Willow Run airport. Two brothers of Mrs. Haerer - Max Aupperle (at the extreme left) of 716 Oakland Ave. and Walter Aupperle (at the far right) of Chelsea - had not seen her for almost 20 years and had never seen the children. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Aupperle of 309 Catherine St. (standing near Mrs. Haerer) had last visited her in Germany in 1934, before the births of two of the children. George A. Wild, jr., of 426 Crest Ave., (beside Max) meet the Haerer family while his Army unit was stationed in Germany. The three children who formed such an important part of the reunion are Armin, 15, Herwalt, 10, and Arnhild, 7.

Eddie Green, shown here balancing atop a wing of a stunt plane piloted by veteran acrobatic flyer Bill Barber, thrilled a large crowd which gathered Sunday at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport off S. State Road. Green, who performs several daring feats aloft and Barber, who has 28,000 hours of flight on his record, were two of dozens of airmen who appeared for the two-day marking of the establishment of the local airport in 1928. Aerial balloons, antique airplanes, a fly-in breakfast for arriving pilots and display of experimental aircraft were all part of the gala event. Art Nugent, control tower operator, said there were 575 landings and take-offs on Sunday and more than 20,000 persons visited the airport for the air show. (Staff photo by Robert Chase)
