MCRCC Spring Fly In 2011!

What a fantastic success our MCRCC Fly In was today! Great work by all involved. The field looked awesome, the prep and PR work was wonderful, the food and the "snow balls" were rockin! And the planes, helis and pilots! Thanks to the crew at MCRCC, our vendors, sponsors and guests! Here are 49 photos and two videos. Enjoy!

Cubby's trick of the day was to lose her spinner mid-flight...

We had a wonderful time! I flew the Alpha a bunch, the Cubby once (and she lost her spinner. Since I couldn't find another or a 4mm nut, she was grounded for that mis-behavior...), and I lastly flew the Stearman once, had a rough landing. It was weirdly windy; we were sitting facing north with the wind in our face, but with the flag showing a wind from the south. Crazy! We enjoyed 3D pros, scale magic, and 3D and sport helis, jets, static displays and trainers. Looking forward to next year!

  2. Sounds like you guys had a great time! We'll definitely have to come down to one of your fly-ins. I have to ask though, what is that gorgeous twin engine plane? It's pretty awesome!
