A few closing remarks:

Pic 1: They gave the "circus" top billing!

Pic 2: This plane holds the offical speed record at Valley RC Field...whatever that speed may be....

Pic 3: The mountains....sometimes treacherous for vehicles with trailers....always beautiful!

Many thanks go out to CD Gary Jones, club president Aaron Swindle, and all the Valley RC Club members for treating us like family and for all the hard work. You guys did a great job! We'll see you again.

Robert, you and Josh came up and made the show. We had a great time also, don't be strangers...you never need a special invite to stop by and twist a prop with us.

Thank you so much,

Sitting in a garage or attic somewhere, there is a NIB one of these with my name on it, just waiting for the right swap meet where I can get it practically free....

Great report Robert. Looks like you and Josh had an awesome time. It was hard turning down the road trip with you guys, and Ive been wanting to fly there for a years. But,,,,,several of us have had this bike trip planned for months, and I just couldnt back out of it.
Even though I wasnt flying with you guys, I still had a blast Saturday. We had 19 bikes( every brand from Harley to Honda) in line and headed for the Va. mountains. What an awesome ride. Dustin and I hit the road at 7:00 AM and didnt get home until 10:30 that night. We put in well over 400 miles in the saddle and enjoyed tons of scenic view. I'll have to tell you guys about Dustins "Land Speed Record" he did on the Blue Ridge Parkway!!!!! Wish I had taken pictures, but thats pretty hard to do while driving a motorcycle.

So,,,,,where's the next road trip???????

Robert,
These are some great pictures you took. It looks like there was a large variety of airplanes there in PA.
