Pictures are welcome! ?

Pictures are coming. Everyone has been staying late and getting back to the motel so late they are wiped out, Its 9:45 and I just returned from the field myself. The weather is PERFECT and today there were a least 200 launches done with dual tugs running at times.
Well done to everyone involved.

Some of the dozens of sailplanes at the event along with a great selection of tow planes.

For those lucky enough to get a Swallow kit, here is the finished product.
Flights of well over an hour were the norm. Its an amazing flying plane and its quite the hit of the event.

Rumor has it there is possibly another run coming, so put your name in now.

Ok, what happens when you level off from a 180 mph dive just inches above MOST of the corn?

You trim the corn stalks!!

[Stew2]

My underwear would have the same markings if I were flying that..... Probably the same color too!!! Any dents or just all color?

[stevekremer]

What kind of noise was associated with that? What was your response? To pull up?

hey I'll come if someone from CT will team up with me and split the driving. There are no competent drivers on Long Island. We're all road princesses here. Lol
