Matt Chapman flew this 1/3-scale Bucker Jungmeister (of course inverted) during the warbird meet! It is Gary Allen's prototype for his construction article that appeared in MAN.

It did rain and there was fog at the meet! Here's my 1/4-scale Balsa USA Fokker Triplane waiting for the Dawn Patrol to arrive!

A 1/6-scale, 14-foot span, electric-powered Gotha WW1 German bomber built by Jerry O'Connor flew several times during the event! Pilot Ed Andrews commented that it is a pilot's model to fly and you never get to rest until the model is back down on the ground and turned off in the pit area! Beautifully done scratch design!

Dave Malchione Jr. flew this well known BVM F-4 Phantom. The turbine powered jet had no trouble getting off the grass, even with its relatively small wheels!

Flown by Tim Hagerty, this Hangar 9 Hellcat ARF was powered by a new Zenoah G-20 engine! Great performer!
Hi Gerry, What fantastic photos. The one with your triplane looks like a true flying field shot from the German front in 1918. Great going. George

Hi George! good to hear from you! Yes the fog made it look like a German aerodrome on Saturday morning! The Triplane flies great! But it seems it always rains when I take it out!
