Default Puerto Rico air Extravaganza
Well this past weekend we had a Small air show at (TJBQ) BQN Airport (Old Ramey Air Force Base {1959-1971} in Aguadilla Puerto Rico).

Even thou it was a small show, we had a great time. For Static display we had a C-5 Galaxy, C-130, (2) F/A-18 Hornets, KC-135, B-52, Super Puma (heli), (2) MD-500, a couple of R-22 & R-44, a Cessna 172, a Bonanza B-36 (Brand new), a King-Air 200, among others.

For air show performers, the Cost Gad had a rescue demonstration, Greg Poe (with his MX-2), Angel-7 (L-39), The Puerto Rico Power Authority Air ops demo, and the Army Golden Knights.

We also had our little spot on the show, as static display, Helis flights (3D and scale), control line flights, and a couple of squeeze 3D airplane flights (we got in trouble with this but what the hell!!, Fly hard or go home!!!!)

Overall, it was a good experience, and we (the R/C guys) had a ton of fun.

Attached is the Pictures, Hope You enjoy them.

Regards,

Héctor,
