A bit of history
1999 EVENT REPORT
37 Registered Pilots! 55 Aircraft!
11 Turbines-44 Ducted Fans!
This surpassed last year's numbers and thrilled the largest audience of spectators, who turned out for all three days of flying! This has become THE BIGGEST EVENT in our history! Even with a "gusty breeze", the pilots put on a terrific show of expertise!! Winamac Aero Modelers sincerely thank all of the pilots, sponsors, audience, spotters, and volunteers who made the event THE GREATEST EVER!! 11 Turbines-44 Ducted Fans!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO Brad Long and Ed Kirtly from Bowling Green, KY. they were kind enough to quit practicing and help get the field ready even thought they were guests.
We look forward to seeing all of you next year!!!
Thanks once AGAIN!!

I was just out there flying with Timmy yesterday on (Saturday 6/7/14 ) and the field is in great shape.
Tim is really putting in the efforts to get the field prepped for this event so that everyone will really enjoy themselves !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope we get to see a bunch of people back at this event as it is one of the most fun and relaxing jet rallys that there has been for many years running.
This is the only event where you can fly a jet from sun up to sun down with out any hassles.
Then there is also the night flying under the lights after hours for those that just can't get enough during the day. So don't forget to bring out your night flying foamies size does not matter.
There will also be a friday and saturday night dinner that is going to be prepared by our good friend Ron Ballard from Wren Turbines USA.
