Hello Everyone
Back in May, David Thomas,Teresa Montgomery and I drove up to Columbus, Ohio to visit with O’Neil Tents. This company is family owned and operated. One of the many required items for hosting the Jet World Masters is to supply a climate controlled pilot tent. So we went to Columbus to visit this company and see what their company could offer us for the Jet World Masters. We were very impressed with their product and customer service. One of the owners of the company met us and showed us the facility and all of their products they could offer. He had a meeting with us for an hour or so and then proceeded to take us to the Ohio State Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. I have haven't been in this stadium since I ran in the state track meet back in 1992. A lot of things has changed since then. This is a tent that he showed us. I forget the dimensions but you can see that it was huge. This tent was set up for a private event that had Racial Flatts playing live inside the tent. Our Tent will have the same structure as this tent and close to the same demensions. We will have air conditioning to keep you all cool during our July season.
We are currently talking to some very substantial sponsors for the event. With your donations and sponsorships for this event, we will have one of the coolest Radio Controlled events ever. You will not find a place in the world that will have this much aviation. It's just not possible.
The museum has put in a formal request to have the United States Thunderbirds to come and do a fly over during the event. We hope to see that on the schedule in a couple months. We will definitely let you know something if we hear anything about that.
Lots of demo flying from some of the best Jet, aerobatic, and Heli RC pilots in the world.
The biggest and oldest Military museum in the world! 400 aircraft on display. 244 acres. Newly paved 7000X 150 runway..
Antique bi- plane rides at the Greene County Airport. 1929 D-25 New Standard bi -Plane rides. Carries 4 passengers at a time. The front seat is so big that you can have a party up front.
Open Jet Flying in the evenings for any and all Jet Pilots. You don't have to be in the Jet World Masters to just enjoy the Jet World Masters. Come and burn your own jet fuel. This portion of the event will be ran by Lewis Patton from Louisville,KY... Lewis taught me how to fly turbine jets. He is a great CD and he will run a great flight line.
Media personnel, Deb McGraw will be the POC. We just updated the website with a media registration form. This form will assist us with having a idea on who is coming and also so we can have a package made up for you ( Name tags, pilot info, schedules, and etc).We will also post some more information about rules and regulations for the media. So far we have RC Sport Flyer as a Platinum sponsor, RC Flyer has shown interest in attending the event along with 2 European magazines. SKS has committed to coming to the show for all your video needs. We also have a number of photographers very interested in seeing this Jet World Masters. Deb will be busy with distributing our updates to the museum
PR department and all the media avenues that will be attending. You should start seeing ads in magazines in the next couple months.
For all the families that might attend the show. The National Museum of the United States Air Force has 2 very large malls within 15 minutes. King Island Amusement Park is only 1 hour drive. This Park is one of the best in the country for roller coasters. Cedar Point is 3.5 hours away and it is the best roller coaster park in the country.
All hotels are within 15 minutes from the museum. Thanks to the Greene County and Montgomery Convention and visitors bureau. They have worked extremely hard to plan for your accommodations while at the Jet World Masters.
That’s about it for now. Just to let you all know that we thank our sponsors for supporting such a great competition/ event. We are working extremely hard on making this a great experience for all. I have been in aviation for 28 years and I have a passion for more than just the hobby. I have a passion in teaching people about aviation. I have been going to local schools and summer camps in the Dayton area for the last couple years to help with Radio Control aircraft and to talk about aviation in general. I truly feel this is what kids and adults need. Henry Noble from Noble solutions is a sponsor of the event because he is a friend and most importantly he believes in teaching. He is a Dayton City School teacher that I have help start a model airplane program. I donated a Old Goldberg eagle 63 kit so his kids could build a model airplane in class. John Nagle from the local Dayton hobby shop ( RC Hobby Center) went into the classes and help finish 2 trainers. Henry Noble is going to have his students display their high school built airplane at the Jet World Masters. That is what this hobby is. We have all started there and, progressed to be whatever we do for a living or hobby.
Our sponsors will have demo time to show their new product and to also display it at the event. This is a great opportunity for any of you on the fence buyers to come and see a certain product up close.
Thanks to these sponsors
