Fast cars and fast planes were the big attraction at the 12th annual Wings and Wheels Fall Festival at the Delaware Coastal Airport Oct. 4-5.
Thousands of people descended on the airport on a beautiful weekend to check out vintage airplanes from the World War II era as well as more recent aircraft like the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter.
Hundreds of classic cars were also on display, ranging from the earliest automobile models to classic Corvettes and Mustangs.
