ANNOUNCEMENT - TEMAC War Birds Day

Weather permitting, on Sunday July 17, from 2pm to 4pm, we will be having our first War Birds event for TEMAC members. Planes must scale or semi-scale models of a military/air-force/navy fighter plane. Pilots must submit a write-up of the plane's history, and details of the model. This will be read during the flight of the model.

This is not a contest and there are no awards (maybe next year), so all TEMAC members are invited to participate. Bring your cameras and have a good time.

Please post your feedback here, and if there is enough interest, we'll start off with a barbecue.

   That is great news! I'll have to get off my arse and finally do some painting and just generally spruce them up for the  ocassion!

sounds like fun ... count me in

What about a war bird (P51D) that's covered with bright covering for air shows & racing (i.e. Miss America)?
Is that allowed?

Marc

Military birds converted to civilian aircraft, or vice versa, allowed.

That qualifies my Sandringham them     It was a post war conversion from the Short Sunderland... RAF sub hunter / coast line patrol / air sea rescue.

Robert

This is great news....   Do military trainers count?  PT-17 / PT-19?

I say the Formosa should qualify.  They go into battle every time they're at the field!

And what about the CL215/415 water BOMBERS   

Sounds like an awesome day to "launch" my DC3 in RAF trim........

To bad we have some less warbirds after these last few weeks... 

These things happen; it's part of the hobby. A tough part, but a part nonetheless.

Every model airplane comes with a hidden expiry date.

Hey Robert isn't FORMOSA still technically at war with China? So it's at war with the Chinese ARF's. By my logic it would qualify but you have to paint it in camouflage!

Jack.

Can we also have a swap meet that day too?  I have some older airframes that I would like to clear out.

"OLDER AIRFRAMES"

That must mean at least six months old eh?

Jack.

A little preview of what may be coming?
