Dave Purdin Fly-In is a small-aircraft meetup near Portsmouth, OH—great for photographing vintage and general aviation planes, pilots prepping, static displays and runway action. Best at golden hour for warm light and low shadows; weekends (event days) offer the most activity. Rural airfield parking is usually available; expect informal entry fees/waivers and observe pilot/ground-crew zones. Check weather and local NOTAMs; bring layers for variable Ohio conditions.
