OK, we now have high speed Wi-Fi at the field. This rocks.

Here is a little series of F-100 photos of the F-100 from the Hong Kong Team. Flown in open class by Alex Lau

The world could learn a lesson from this picture. This is Iran, England and Dubai watching the Israeli team fly. Note that they are wearing Israeli team caps and cheering the team when they make a good flight maneuver. Seriously, how many other sports does this happen in.

We don't care about politics here... It is all about people enjoying their hobby and lending everyone a helping hand.

My favorite plane, and the second highes static scoring plane is gone. The gorgeous L-39 from Russia was lost to flutter and crashed and burned. Not a single item survived. Truly sad.



An L-159 was lost when the pilot lost orientation and the plane flew away. The pilot is sitting here amidst the wreckage and looking lost

This picture is TRULY a prize winner! This picture shows that if we as a world looked for things we have in common with our fellow man versus the things we find different, then the world will be a better place!!!

You are both correct. The current leading model in individual is the new Airworld Hawk (Red Arrows scheme) flown by Tommy Gleissner.
Stephan Voelker's White / red Hawk is the one you are referring to.

Status: offline 		Well, I am afraid I have more bad news...

Sung Kim just lost his magnificent Panther. That makes 3 world class models lost today. We where entering our last maneuver, the slow flight pass. This maneuver is entered with full flaps, gear down, canopy open, retractable tail skid lowered and flown at few clicks over landing speed. (Judges wants to see the nose high). Right at the end of the maneuver, the top hatch blew off. In this draggy configuration, low and slow and with the time it takes the turbine to spool up, Sung did not have a chance. The plane spun in and was completely destroyed.

Fortunately, Sung is in good spirit. It was a real bummer, but this is the price we pay in this hobby. Every model has an expiration date. This one was just too soon.

Airworld did a little demo flight today with their Cougar. Closely related to the Panther, but with swept wings and tail.

Looks great in this high visibility paint scheme.

Contestants get ready in front of the static hangar. The planes are weighed inside after the flight, and in the morning, the building provides much needed shade.
