Last weekend I was sitting in the parking lot at Sepulveda Basin and from my parking spot could watch the c/l planes in the air. I saw one plane go up and in a minute another plane went up! I couldn't see the center of the pad and so was surprised to see a second plane. Well one plane soon caught up with the other and they started flying in formation! Straight and level with one about 5' above and behind. Then they started doing climbs and dives. Then figure 8's. Then inverted. Then flying opposing at each other! It was thrilling to watch. This flight demo lasted about 15 minutes. It was so cool!

Maybe it was me flying there?

Indeed those two gentlemen do put on an impressive show. I have witnessed them also on my occassional trips back to the basin to compete in your local RC pylon races. I try on those trips to alway bring a Ukie with me to try and get in a Ukie flight or two during the couse of the weekend. RC pylon and Ukie all in a weekend. A total immersion weekend, what a rush! Long live the Basin*****

Steve Shiff and Steve Sobel are the guys you saw, like as not. They have been doing this for years, as you can tell from the fact that the planes were intact at the end of the flight. They are members of the Valley Circle Burners, a new/old club that is centered at Sepulveda.
