| A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter got the attention of many attendees at Sunday's Fly-In at the Chetek Southworth Municipal Airport. Even though the dollar amount collected at the event wasn't yet tallied, the annual benefit for community development organizations was an obvious success by all counts.Besides the Black Hawk, there were numerous vintage aircraft and vehicles to check out. Chuck Harrison estimated that more than 500 people attended the Fly-In despite the gloomy weather. He believes some of the crowd favorites besides he Black Hawk were the Douglas DC-3, which was used by American airlines in the late 1930s to early 1940s, a Russian/Czechoslovakian jet, a citation jet and a Beech King Air.
