2021 Warbird

On Saturday October 16th we hosted our 14th annual Warbird Fly In. The weather started out cool, in the upper 40's at sun-up and 15 mph winds from the west - northwest with blue sunny skies. Winds stayed down the runway for the entire event, however, we seen 20-25 mph starting around lunch time. Due to 2" rain on Thursday / Friday, the runway was a little mushy, but still flyable. We had 30 registered pilots, lower than expected most likely due to strong wind and cool temperature forecast.

The weather and field conditions did not stop the flying, we still seen pilots making flights all during the event with everything from WWI aircraft to WWII aircraft to EDF's and turbine powered aircraft. We had a large crowd of spectators and a big lunch crowd. Special thanks goes to John Killinger for serving up the fantastic pulled pork provided by him and Rege Hall. As in our previous warbird fly-ins, we had a pilots raffle and open raffle with many industry companies providing prizes along with the kits donated by the club. Balsa USA, Sullivan Products, Micro Fasteners, Bob Smith industries and RTL fasteners provided various hobby goodies. Nova-Jets donated a PNP T-28 and Bryan Baumer Enterprises donated a Top Flite Elder kit. An anonymous source donated a UMX P-51 Mustang and an E-Flite coaxial MD600 helicopter.
