We had our annual Warbird Meet today here in Evansville IN and because of the bad weather we've been having and the price of gas it wasn't a hugh turn out but there were a lot of nice planes to look at. Winds were gusting up to 30mph at times but some flight were made and all went well. Here are a few pics.

I attended/ participated in a couple of your warbird events a few years ago, back when they were held in early July. I like the timing of them now (probably not nearly as hot as it is in July), sorry I missed this one, but will try to make plans for being there next year (IF it is in May again).

Sure would have liked to do a little formation flying with that Top Flite red box Corsair that you have pictured. That is one of the very few red box Corsairs that I have seen done right (with proper paint scheme).

Here is a picture of the Evanville runway. Don't you wish we all were so fortunate. They sure have a fine facility. Really enjoyed your meet. Sam

Zippy,

Thanks for pictures and event coverage!

CorsairJock,

Thanks for the comments on the Corsair! That means a lot coming form you. Met you a couple years ago in Henderson when this plane was still in the works. Its not a red box though, just a standard TP kit, one of the newer ones. We had the paint matched from a diecast model, and sprayed by a local member Pat Moss. Hope you make it down next year, would love to do some formation flying, I know its your dream to have a bunch of them going at once. Plan on the same weekend, mothers day.

Some may ask about the big stick plane being a warbird. That is actually a old military drone plane 100% scale!

Hellcat,

Thanks for coming down, had a great time. We are very lucky to have the facility we do and very proud of it. Come back anytime, good to have you.

I really wanted to stop by yesterday...but work just didn't allow for it...I was hoping to go today, but the weather doesn't look very good today. I assume the event is cancelled today?

barmonkey,

With the wind gusting up to 35mph I don't think you would find anyone at the field today. I guess we were lucky that we had a fairly decent day yesterday.

Too bad about the weather. I really wanted to get up there and check out the warbirds today, and also to meet some of the fliers. I have been wanting to join your club, and figured this would be a good opportunity to check things out, ask questions etc. I suppose I'll just send an e-mail to your membership chairman...

BTW...I have some pictures of last years event...if anyone is interested, I'll see if I can dig them up.

If you have any questions just come on out any time and someone there can answer whatever questions you have. It's a great hobby to be involved in.
