Sally Eckhart submitted several photos from her club’s annual event. She wrote:
“On June 18-19, 2016, the Barons Model Club held its 5th Annual Warbirds Over Deer Park [event] at the club field at the Deer Park Airport in Deer Park, Washington.
“There was a total of 19 pilots who signed in for the two-day event, with lots of flying. Saturday’s weather was a bit unsettled, but at lunchtime, the clouds broke long enough to allow the sun to come out and let two members put on a Heritage Flight with an F-15 and a P-40 to honor our veterans, past and present!
“Sunday was a great day with blue skies and plenty of sunshine. The pilots made up for Saturday’s cool and unsettled afternoon weather, and flying was nonstop! Spectators were entertained by all of the flying and visiting with pilots on both days.
“Hobby Town USA-Spokane donated a couple of kits for drawings on both days, and the recipients were pleased with their prizes.”
Sally sent photos of Paul O’Neil’s P-51 Mustang and Jesstin Day’s F6F Hellcat, as well as a photo that includes a B-25 owned by Jesstin and a P-51 owned by Dusty Eckhart. “Paul’s plane is gas, as is Jesstin’s Hellcat,” she wrote. “The two planes [in the other picture] are both electric.”
