2009 Tucson 1-2A Scale Photos

[Tom Niebuhr]

This is special and I hope Sparky agrees this should be for everyone to view.

I have reduced some of the pictures of the 2009 Tucson Multi Engine 1/2A Scale contest at the request of Uncle Mickey Keville. The pictures are all courtesy of Rickii Pyatt.

Hopefully Uncle Mikey will add the details.

Great pictures by a great photographer.  To me it would hard to find a nicer bunch of guys/gals.  It is also great to see Bob Whitely doing okay.  DOC Holliday
