Some of the models seen in Fred's 3rd photo above weren't entered this year, although they are prior winners and just here for display. For example, Keith Trostle's magnificent Tupolev TU-95 was the winner one year. I believe his XB-47D won, or placed very high, at the Nats one year. Leroy Black exhibited several models he'd previously flown here, in addition to his HE-219 and ME-410 entries this year. Ted Kraver's F7F won the 1/2A event at last year's Nats.
This thing is growing. Too bad we're so far away for many of you. Wish entries would increase here.
Thanks for the idea, Ron Duly and Dave Braun, c.1976!!!
