Frank McMillan's new plane.  I think it's really pretty.

Kaz Minato brought this cool Hellcat. The second picture is the Northwest posse helping Kaz change the head on his engine after the plug threads got stripped just before an official flight.  Kaz took an attempt, disassembled his plane, borrowed a head, put everything back together, and flew a fine flight. The engine ran great.

Mike Haverly built this plane after his new electric plane crashed at the Memorial Day weekend Northwest Regionals.

Thanks for the pictures Howard.

If it wasn't for you and Bruce, we would know nothing about the Nats.

That is Jake Moon's Grandfather Richard Moon in in the background.  He and my other nephew had a good time coming to Muncie last year they decided to do it again and get here for the Friday Festivities.  They took in a few museums along the way and made a nice two day trip of it.

I sure wish I wouldnt have crashed on mys second flight of the day.  It just might have been very interesting.  I'll be back.

Turns out that glider that Jake and Gavin built flew GREAT. It has a nice
rollout and then just sets up there lazily flying around.
