Re: Yes... I'll be the Warwing decoy.

I would prefer it if you (David) brought and flew your Warwing with a streamer.

I can't imagine chasing you while you run and drag a streamer behind you through the beans. I would have to fly too close to the ground to get a strike. But if there isn't any other targets...

$:-\$

No me personally

... although that would be interesting.

I'll put up my Warwing, with streamer, and casually circuit the field... 'cause that's about the extent of my Warwing ability.

Agreed... no question. I thought I was heading the other way.
Then it took me a minute to find my warwing. I was sure I started with a blue ribbon.

What an excellent day.

Fantastic day. (It's not over; some are still flying.)

I was there from about 11am to about 5pm.

I flew Waterbombers (twice) with Glenn and Robert; I flew my Albatross twice, I flew my Super Cub twice, jets 2 times, and warwing combat twice.

I recall several notable planes flying: 80mm 12S A10 Warthog; Hangar 9 Thunderbolt; E-Flite Carbon Cub; Zen 90 pattern plane; and many others.

I saw those 3 beauties coming in and looked over at Greg... so glad he had his camera up.
