Went for the first time today for the Bomber Fly In at Bud Webber's "Bomber Field" - what a hoot!

RC planes of all shapes and sizes. Got to finally see an RC jet in action after hearing about them several years ago - actuall there were about 8 jets that flew today.

Bud got the Russian Bear out and airborn. what a beauty that is...1/10th scale, built from scratch, has a 21' wingspan.

several other giant scale a/c were there: a Lockheed Super Constellation, Fokker Biplane, spacewalker and a really cool large scale P51. Sorry I didn't catch the pilot's name.

I'll be back next year for sure - maybe even have a bird to fly.

I have a few friends that were there. Barry Raborn flies a Jet. It is a large one compares to the otheres I saw there one other time I went. Randy Ritch was there. He was pulling a red trailor behind a red suburban with Ritch's Racing Fuel on the side. Both are Super people.

I took my camera - but left the memory card at home :mad:

my friend took a few pics - when I get them, I'll share.

the funniest thing I saw was the 1/2 scale Spacewalker with Elmo as the pilot. The kids loved that.
