Rare aircraft from near and far converged in South Florida this weekend for Ocean Reef‘s 18th annual celebration of all things vintage.

The classic airplanes that made the trip to South Florida for the event included everything from vintage biplanes like the Grand Champion and the Boeing Stearman to exceptionally historical aircraft, such as the DC-3 used to transport the Nationalist Party leader of China, Chiang Kai-shek, during the late 1940s. Revered warbirds like the P-51 Betty Jane and the B-25 Tondelayo, owned and restored by the Collings Foundation, also made the journey to Ocean Reef, among many others.
