the airplane. No damage
either. Flying is fun, even if it's just a model airplane. The wind came
up so most of the flying
ended.
One guy had a beautiful model A-10, which he could fly much like the real
A-10 flies. However, as he
was trying to land it, a gust blew it off the track into a soccer goal
post. Busted a wing, landing
gear, and a few other assorted pieces. Hopefully it's fixable.
Lot's of fun!
Working on the boat in front of the house, wished I had the camera. B-24
doing tourist flights nearby. Struck me how small the planes actually
were. Considering the newer fighters and bombers.
There is a huge club, they were flying today in the wind right next to
one of our tracks. Petty cool watching the big planes play in the wind,
standing still and just flying up and down into the wind, holding
positition front to back, side to side, etc..
Maybe you were seeing some 3D flying also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVihCOt7jQw
