Come to one of the nicest fields around and hang out and fly! We can camp on site as well, there are no hookups, trailers are already showing up!

Not to mention the marshmellow fight around the campfire. ( again , this year!!!)

And Greg Anders in his GIANT scale Mustang at about 50 feet off the deck on the centerline of the runway at 240 knots!!! "WOW"
hopefully someone got pictures!! Please.

(Scale was 12 inches to the foot.)

Status: offline 		since the weater was awesome both days I think we had a record turnout, in the past its rained or been sketchy weather on one day, but nothing but sun and fun all weekend!

Plus the full scale fly by's were great, not too often your buzzed by P51's and T'6's, better than an airshow flyby for sure.

I need one more day to recoop, I must be getting old.. HAHA!

One thing I want to mention, was the large amount of donations by PAU/BME aircraft, big round of applause for them!

Great pictures again! Thanks for posting them. Also you put on a great show for the crowd as usual. The full-scale flybys were stunning and already can’t wait for next year. I am still recovering from that event. It was a great time for sure!

Ken

The throttle stuck at 3/4 and had to land dead stick. Look's like i'm off to p/u some carbon fiber to fix the problem.
