The only justification for posting more photos is that this is my excuse for not flying fast RC models for the last couple of weeks. Yeah, weak, I know... But I thought some of you might find these interesting.

Geneseo Air Show last weekend. Perfect weather Thur-Sat, Sun not so good but we all bailed Saturday due to impending rain. 3:15 flight at a whopping 75mph. Rob Holland joined us for some fun and games in a photo shoot. We cruised at 75, he flew in high alpha to keep up. Jerry Yagen's Mosquito KA-114 was there so we took the opportunity to get a bunch of de Havilland family photos. The Mossie flew formation with a P-38.. not too hard to watch.

The new MXS-RH is a bad-ass aircraft.. and, it can maintain a hover whereas the MX2 seemed to struggle. <1200lb, 385hp. "3D" flying is creeping in to full scale step by step.



Holy [--------] the Mosquito is a gorgeous aircraft. There were puddles of slobber and drool and who knows what else surrounding it from all the gawkers.
