The event came off in astounding fashion with over 255 models present. Three, count them, TD-1 models in virgin condition, a 50th anniversary gold Cox Pitts Special, at least three flyable Pt-19s. John Wright brought 40! Models. I thought I was hot stuff with 13.
I think there was a TD3 and a couple of Super Cubs. Definitely a Cox Stuka with a suitable patina of dust.
Several Cos Hyper Viper and Me-109 and Chipmunk models. The Hyper Viper designed by Mikey Pratt, the Me109 and Chipmunk are mine.
Scott Dinger flew the heck out of a Baby Magician from my plans. It was originally built by Antone Kephart, wrecked (dunno by who) and rebuilt and refinished by Scott. I flew my SkySport but with a lean run, didn’t finish the pattern.
Tony Naccarato showed up with some really nice stuff, and is physically way better than the last time I saw him. He is as always a really upbeat kind of guy. It is really appropriate to dedicate this event to him!
