1/8 Air Force Fall Fly-In
FOR OVER a decade the 1/8 Air Force Fly-In has been happening twice a year, once each spring and fall. Generally, articles about these fly-ins tout the larger, spring event as "the one not to miss," with scarcely a mention of the fall edition. Yet by most enthusiasts' measure a fly-in that draws well over 100 full-RC Scale birds-Corsairs, Mustangs, Staggerwings, Extra 230s, SR-71s and more-from across the country is pretty stellar in its own right. It's time to give the smaller sibling equal billing. Models and pilots gathered for the 1990 fall Scale fly-in at the Arizona Model Aviators' Spook Hills site in Mesa. From Mustangs to Extra 230s, these are big, fast planes-and they came to fly. Under Arizona's severe clear October skies, fly they did.
1/8 Air Force in the Spring
IF PICTURES really are worth a thousand words, then this photo essay must be good for over a million. And what words! Huge, awesome, detailed, realistic, incredible, clever, gutsy. With the 1/8 Air Force Spring Fly-In, hyperbole meets its match. As usual, the 1991 fly-in drew a throng of notables in RC Scale-Crooks, Hempel, Hildebrand, Thornton, McClung, Rivaldo, Collier, and a hundred more. Although practically every aspect of the two-day event was worthy of mention, the focus here is on the highlights.
