Here is a few pictures I took today. Then my phone battery died.
Had to put the kids in on the candy drop. Just can't figure out how to rotate the pictures. The B-17 was nice, as was Texas Guard F-16. Sorry, but that's all I got. A lot of really nice planes out there today.

Do you think there is any particular reason for this?

My Feedback: (35)
Most seemed to be system failure. A yellow aircraft f-18 twin lost an engine on take off and crashed. A twin engine f-14 experienced elevator flutter that ripped a vertical stab off and crashed. A few p-47s went in after engine failures and one mid air with a cub ( all fixable but the cub was destroyed. I f-9f Panther had the battery regulator fail and lost all electrical power and crashed. And the former topgun champion Bristol beau fighter crashed after clipping a wing on a practice torpedo pass witch kill and engine and snapped as he turned final into the bad engine. It was totally destroyed. That's the one I cane remember but there were more.

Just to be clear the F14 went in from RUDDER FLUTTER! not anything else. I was standing on the flight line spotting when it happened. Rudder fluttered then the vertical fin mounting spars snapped.
Fender he had an old set up on the rudders. I hear they have a double carbon rod set up now. His setup had a single servo screw into some wood for the linkage attachment and even that had allot of play.
It was a great topgun had allot of fun!!
