Some pictures and walk through history. The plane flew pretty well too. I got to talk to one of the local modelers that was HERE IN PERSON spectating here Dubendorf at the 1960 world championships. It was pretty awesome. I wanted to interview him on video but he declined.

And some classics in attendance!
Wolfgang Matt's first worlds was 1967. He announced at the banquet that 2015 would be his last world championships. A true champion and mentor for so many at the competition. His name is all over the F3A awards podium for decades. Dick Penrod in attendance. U.S. team manager from the 1970's and TOC line director.

My Feedback: (121)
Wow, a 48 year span and I'm pretty sure he's competed in every WC. Too bad he's not going to fly in 2017 and celebrate 50 years of FAI F3A competition. Maybe Roland will start competing again to keep the family tradition alive!
Congratulations to the US Team and, of course, Joseph. How much longer will he be able to compete as a junior? A bit of an unfair advantage for the US... 4 top twenty pilots!

I know I'm late to the party but those classics, does anyone know what the model is next to the alliance? All I can read is "AT 2000". Love to know more about it. Really like the lines.
