Typical on site storage was in a replica WW-I hanger. It was 3 bays wide. The museum staff moved most airplanes out so we could use each night.

First pic shows Allen's 1/2 scale Blackburn over 1/3 scale birds.

Last pic: Thats a full scale replicas Dr.1 in the back corner. Note Keith's Jenny look just as big!

There were two,other 1/4 scale Jenny' ARF by Maxford. One pictured is from a pilot who also flew at WOD.

My flying buddies, Bob Bailey Has 104” Wing Span, G-45 with spring starter. Life is good!
if you want easy relaxed flying, this is the plane for you and should be under the Christmas tree, hint, hint.

Also check out the detail in Pert's 1/4 SE-5a.

HPA, finally getting to,your planes. No event would be complete without this man, Paul. His wife, Michelle and Barry and Gary packed up the Black "Ohio Dawn Patrol" trailer and headed east. We appreciate your commitment and bringing the ODP gang, especially right after Dayton. Need to tell Winterhawk and Sir Percy they missed a great event!


I have always loved this D-VII paint scheme.

We love ya man!

Here is hot looking down right side of runway. Second pic is the Saturday half time flying. We cover a solid 45 min of flying.
Many spectators and modelers present commented that “ the R/C flying was better than the full scale flying.”

It was a great event. The mix of actual full scale flying planes and the huge array of RC models was super. Can't wait to see what next year brings

As mentioned earlier, The “Best Central Powers” was awarded to Mike Gross for his new Fokker Dr.1 Triplane. Built from a stock GTM kit, but with impeccable detail and attention to detail including full cockpit with moving stick and wind anemometer on the struts. At 1/3 scale it had a 94.5'' wing span and a DLE 111cc twin engine. Pics back on post 49.
please see the Model Aiplane news WRAM article for up close details.

Mike is a three time MAD Patrol winner now and also flew his past winning 1/3 Sopwith Camel “Wonga Bonga” and hails from New York’s Long Island area. Soon he will be wearing all of these medals from a camel pilot.

Saturday night included a steak dinner and awards ceremony within the Museums main Navy hanger.


Scott Vickery led off the evening with Glenn Torrance our Co-Event and Primary Sponsor explaining the three trophies to be presented. Only model airplanes that flew would make the final cut and the three winners were magnificent!

The “Best of Show” this year went to Gotz Vogelsang with his 40% Eindecker that is a brand new imported kit. Gotz flew this wing warping beauty with ease. The pilot moves the control stick as the control surfaces move. Just a great flying and fun model. A super job Gotz, congrats.

Not only did Glenn Torrance sponsor all 3 trophies, but included $300 for Best of show, and $200 apiece for best Allied and best Central powers. What great support to our hobby.

Additionally in honor of 100th anniversary, Scott Vickery (event Cord) designed and made a cherry spire and oak based trophy. Complete with brass work from Glenn and its a functional lamp and storage area in the base ( lined cedar) Very classy guys.

Gotz we want to see it on display in your family room!

There were several Fokker DVII's. I think this is Bob's 1/3 scale from New York. Bob has also made every MAD Patrol and he is a great builder and flyer.

Now for some full scale airshow replicas: these planes flew both Saturday and Sunday. A special treat this year. This Dr.1 was flown by the museum owner. Mr Yagen.
Saturday night he also sponsored a hanger dance which included many in period uniforms and dresses. Nice touch.

The Movie star: used in the movie Fly Boys with traditional British markings: Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter. This was real "seat of the pants flying" by a USAF F-22 pilot!

A German Halberstadt. She was a two seat ground attack aircraft. Capt Rickenbacker once noted the hardest plane he had very brought down.

As we wrap up pics: here are some transition pics. A full scale stearman and two great models.

The museum also has a full scale replica P-26 Pea Shooter. America's first metal wing fighter.

The Ryan: was the original Nick Ziroli prototype and had a q-75 and a very special recording of Jimmy Stewart saying " which way to Ireland". So cool.

I have always loved this D-VII paint scheme.
It's one of our longest hauls to get to a flying event......and it is worth every mile!
1: You come for Scott, Jim, Mike...there hospitality is second to none. (thanks again Jim)
2: You come because all of your flying buddies are going to be there.
3: You come down to fly with some real works of art.
4: How about the hanger full of full-scale WWI planes flying all weekend!
5: Overnight storage in a real hanger.....real nice!
6: Oh did I forget to mention that you are at Virginia beach!
These are some of the top reasons I will be there next year and Gotz said I need to step up my game next year too

Thanks for all the pics and write ups.....

HPA, those reasons are great. That's why we will make ODP, LIDP, SDP also in 2015.
We all will need to step up our game? Maybe a Camel with this paint scheme.

I found Pups also used your method to repair tail skids or elevators! Actually this one was caught by a freak windstorm and I almost painted mine like it. These Naval 3 Pups were actually first Black flight and included Black Tulip.


Udet1918, thanks for the corrections and pilot names. I saw a picture of a Pfalz but can't find it. But I add an Eindecker with diff features. Also found one with 3 spaundau's
