Sunday Sept 15- a perfect day!!

[Frank v B]

What a perfect day.  Rogo Field was as busy as Pearson...except no Pilots' strike in sight.

Photo report:
08: Peter and his large Revolver.
10: David matches his hat to his airplane colours
11: Simon prepping his belly-flopping airplane.  Wild flying but two pancakes saved the day.
12: Guy prepping his Tiger moth.
14: Guy.  The only missing colour is pink. The brown is not visible on the back of his pants after the take-off.  A micrometer was needed to measure the clearance with the edge of the runway grass.
17: Glenn with his Reactor bipe.  Great flying as usual.
20: Ken bought David's Carbon Cub.  Great to see him back as a member.
22: David and his Piper Pawnee.  Note Mark's same plane in the background.
25: which one of these two characters is the used car salesman?  Greg and Andy.

Casualty of the day- Vadim lost his EF-1 racer.  A bad crash.  He will be ready for the EF-1 races next weekend.

I left just as the afternoon crowd arrived.  Kenny, Loi, Manni and the gang.

There is a wonderful story attached to the original plane on which this model is based. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAUMnJhYoas

Thank you for the great pictures @Andy Hoffer .
I understand that @piker has a kit awaiting construction... a winter project? 
How about formation flying with @bruce and his Smith Miniplane?
Three in the air at once... humm... Something to think about.

Superb idea @GuyOReilly

Can't wait to photograph the formation flight!
