This year, I want to focus on supporting you, our members, clubs, flying sites, community activities, and STEM programs. Let me highlight a recent event held in Arizona. Special thanks to Tim Cardin and Tony Quist for pictures and event details.
The event was the 10th annual Winter Warbirds, hosted by the Sun Valley Fliers. Tony was the contest director of the January 27-29, 2022, event. The weather was perfect on Thursday. Friday morning had a strong, steady wind until 2 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday were beautiful.
The event is open to all military aircraft from World War I to present day, including jets and turbine helicopters. There were 96 pilots registered from eight states, including a group from Puerto Rico, and easily 200 aircraft were on display.
The event is quite low-key and structured around spending a few days flying with your friends at a premier flying site in a stunning Arizona landscape, with an emphasis on flying by excellent pilots, aircraft, and hospitality.
As with any event, it takes a village to set up and run one of this size, from getting the field ready for the event, to feeding everyone, to keeping everything running each day. Thanks go out to everyone who supported this event.
This is just a sampling of the various aircraft from the pits.
There were incredible aircraft from end to end.
Feel free to reach out with any questions, comments, recommendations, or issues. I strive for open communication. There is much to share throughout the district.
Enjoy everything you build and fly.
