***Monster Planes 2011, RCU Onsite Coverage ***
Now in its forth year, Monster Planes 2011 has quickly become one of the premier airplane events. This year appears to be no different. We are here for the first day of the event, and there was no shortage of big planes to watch. For those that don't know what Monster Planes is, it's basically what the name says. Monster Planes. The only qualification for an airplane to enter in the event is that is must weigh at least 35 pounds. And let me tell you, 35 pounds here is a small plane!!!!
The event is held at the Lakeland-Linder airport in Lakeland, Florida. Frank Tiano has built a grass runway that would rival many putting greens at golf courses, and it's really great to fly off of.
Here are some picture from the first day of Monster Planes 2011
