District III
Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
An event I participated in on August 15-16, 2020, was the eighth annual Columbus Scale Classic, hosted by the Westerville Model Aircraft Association. Contest director Mike Barbee has put together a first-rate Scale competition at the club’s beautiful field.
There was a large variety of Scale aircraft,including general aviation models, World War I and II aircraft, Korean warbirds, jets, and more. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike and the club hosted a safe and successful event.
This year marked the Westerville club’s 52nd year of operation. Thank you, Westerville Model Aircraft Association, for promoting model aviation with the Scale Classic and the many other events you host throughout the year.
Scale aircraft on the flightline are ready to fly at the eighth annual Columbus Scale Classic.
