Yeah, it was Eric Thornburg in his full-scale Pitts S-1. His dad, Bob (both Bob and Eric used to fly at RDRC), told me that he was going to show up some time during the day. It turned out to be in the early evening after many had left the fly-in. But he made one low pass and then did some aerobatics for us. It was very cool!

Yep, we had yet another impromptu RD-RC full scale air show before you got there. Funny though, the Pitts is so small it didn't look out of place.

Dang! I was wondering who had the Pitts! lol I knew I hadn't seen one all day. That must have been just after I left if it was just before Chris got there.
