David Cubberly has lived in Urbana off and on since 1998, pursing two degrees in music composition at the University of Illinois. Having happily finished school for good now, he is glad to call Champaign-Urbana home. David's passion for photography started nearly 10 years ago when he received a very old film camera from his dad. He has been using it ever since to capture the energy and beauty of live music on film. While not pursing this very serious hobby, he works in the audio department at Volition, Inc. and loves every minute of it.
This weekend I took a trip out to the Octave Chanute Air Museum in Rantoul, Ill. The museum contains a number of extensive indoor exhibits showcasing the history of the Chanute Air Base from when it opened in 1917 until it's closure in 1993. The air base was also original home to the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II and the museum features an exihibit on the history surrounding the squadron. In addition to the indoor exhibits, the hangar includes a vast collection of aircraft from very early gliders through modern jets.
Octave Chanute Air Museum is located at 1011 Pacesetter Drive in Rantoul.
