RE: Music at R/C Warbird Events: YEA or NAY? Please VOTE!
At our warbirds we play period WWII music, not blaring but just light background, we also play specific music for certain flying activities.
For instance when we have several corsairs taking off for a formation flight we will play the baa baa blacksheep theme. We do not play any hard rock once the event begins!!!! The music is for the enjoyment of the spectators and to set the mood. If it interfers with communication between pilots it's way to loud. We also believe that you pay your money to fly! Don't shut down flying for some hokie demo flight! If you want 3D then go to a 3D event, not a warbirds rally! What it comes down to is, is the event for the fliers or the spectators. If it's for the flyers then let them fly. If you want to run an airshow, run an airshow. I don't like events that try to do both and do neither very well.
