Hey Guys,

Here's the video from our first ever Flying Circus event. Last Saturday we had torrential rain and high winds durring the day and then the weather broke and we flew until dark. The later event time (4-9pm) worked to our advantage as we would have totally rained out otherwise.

I know that many stayed home due to the weather but we still had flyers from several other clubs both flying and watching.

The guys that flew had a great time !! We flew several individual flights and 3 group flights with up to 8 WWI aircraft in the air enjoying the evening flights.

Our CD came dressed in a 100% accurate Red Baron uniform and we followed his lead as best we could.....

During the event we remembered both the history of the poppy and the Christmas Truce with special PA based introduction stories.

I can hardly wait for next year and to do this when we have better weather !!!
