My very best to you all!

RE: Warbirds Over Texas 2013
Let me second the big thank you to Ed Kettler, Terry Farmer and all the hard working guys at the North Dallas R/C Club for putting on a excellent, well run, fun and world class warbird fly in.
Was able to be there for most of Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. Got to fly a lot and had a blast! I especially appreciate that the event is very electric friendly.
My only casualty of the entire weekend was an electric speed control in my venerable Skyraider....
Next year I will have to get there earlier in the week or beg the club to run extension cords all the way down the pit areas....

RE: Warbirds Over Texas 2013
I have been to several events around the midwest, both large and small, and I can say for certain that Terry and Ed are setting a new standard.
Excellent atmosphere (very relaxed), awesome attendance (tons of spectators, too), incredible models, terrific food, remarkable support from sponsors and vendors, outstanding facilities and ample opportunity to fly!!
My only regret was that I did not arrive earlier on Friday and stay the whole day on Saturday.
I was also especially happy to get to meet some guys whose models, craftsmanship and piloting skills I have admired (through RCU and RSCB) for a long time. It's was pretty cool to watch Dino on the sticks, too. Very impressive all around.
Great job Terry and Ed!
Can't wait until next year's event (hopefully a little cooler next year).

Ed, Terry,
Great job. A huge pat on the back.
I really couldn't tell you what to change. I really liked the added cow and donkey. What a nice touch. Must have been hard to get them to moo, and yee hah on command.
Great job and it is on the calendar for next year.

RE: Warbirds Over Texas 2013
It was great to see all of you last weekend, and we thank you very much for coming and enjoying our event. Our goal is to make WoT a fun place to fly, a venue for great pilots and outstanding aircraft, one that you want to come back to every year because we make it better all the time. Thank you again for the kind words ... it means we achieved our goal!
The North Dallas RC Club is the proud host site for this event, and the club membership unanimously approved sanctioning Warbirds Over Texas 2014 for June 13-15, 2014. I put the registration in last night, so preparation for next year has already begun!. I want to give a big shout out to the club members who make everything happen. Charles Shafer does an excellent job organizing these great people, who are the unsung heroes of the operations.Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Please put WoT 2014 in your calendar for June 13-15, 2014. See you there, and bring a few friends ... We have plenty of room!

The noon show was the Cavanaugh Flight Museum's OH-13 Sioux "Mash" helicopter, the parade of planes, then two flights by Dave Schaeffer's rocket powered Me-163 Komet.
