Like I said, I used to live near here...

One of our neighbors was a performer at the show, and she offered to take my brother and I up. Parents wouldn't let us... but a friend's dairy farm was at the end of the airfield, and so we'd watch the planes when we'd visit, and went to see the whole show a couple times. There is (well, was, when I was young) a whole WWI "schmaltzy" part of it, complete with sootbag-bombs and a genuine WWI tank (French, I think). The "black baron", who flew a version of the famous DR-III with a face on the cowl came out poorly in the end, of course.

Any love for R/C?
Here's my admittedly rubbishy fixed pitch chopper and his little brother for in my dorm room!
Caspian Sea Monster:
God dammit now I have another thread to actually pay attention to. You're ruining my life here, Hodges.
pwhodges:
Set the ones you want to notify you of new posts, and then there's essentially no extra work involved. ;)
Patrick:
My old man's got 3 of these fuckers, two of which he's actively restoring to flying condition. The third is for parts, which he will be replicating using his in-home machine shop.

I've been helping him a little bit with getting one of them back in the air. The previous owner had done some weird shit to keep her airborne and my dad didn't approve of the work, despite it passing inspection. He's a perfectionist and he wants to make it as fast as it can be, so that means putting it completely "in rig" and that means a lot of nitpicking. He and I have that nitpickiness in common.
