There used to be daily event postings here along with Elwyn's great photography. He's gone.
 Now the likely only other source of info is FB.

He live streams every day but doesn't post a link on his own website? Make it make sense....

Everett Shoemaker(new owner) brought Capitinelli's F105 Thunderchief. This jet is jaw dropping when seen in person.Bob Hunt was tripping over his shoelaces when he heard it was here.

The late Larry Robertsons rendition of Charles Mackeys 1962 Liberator was here compliments of Mike Stinson, thanks Mike! I am now the proud owner of this historical RoJett .61 powered classic airplane.

Feast your eyes on Tim Staggs scratch built version of a Chipmunk. Metallic white and blue paint really made it sparkle like the diamond it is.

John Paris created a 1/2a version of the Oriental. There were 20 kits cut and personally signed by John. They were all gone by Wednesday. I think they underestimated the amount they made on the 1st cut. They'll be cutting some more so hang in there. Brodak Flyers got 1st crack at them.

I had to see this every morning when I left the motel. Can you see what I see? Once you see it you'll never unsee it... It's a Nobler tail on the mountain top grass!

I think Sparky got a video of the aftermath. IB wing was off it.
It was a nice looking model.

Score boards?

Perry,
 Sorry, I was unable to catch all the scores for all the events. The place is huge. I was hoping the score sheets would be left up next morning but that wasn't the case. The new ones were already up for the days flight.After all the flying and camaraderie it was time to find a place to eat then back to the hotel to shower and rest for another day.

Yes Brodaks is a huge place.  But you can see most of the action if you pick the right place to set up.  Would love to go again but health and physical problems prevent me going. D>K

That plane, a Twin Otter entered scored (by far) the biggest crash of The Brodak.  The root cause was broken handle leadout.  Full blast into the pavement.
