Gathering of B-17s and Big Bird Scale Fly-In

The big birds were back again to Monaville, TX, at their favorite gathering site: Bomberfield! The very active club organize every year a 3-day weekend where all scale model airplane are invited to fly.

 

The 2016 edition was another success as you can see on the following photos and videos. Enjoy!
