Default Something Fun for Joe Nall - aiming for 100 T-28's at once

Since Joe Nall is our Oshkosh where everything cool in RC happens, I've got an idea for some hilarious after-hours fun. A bunch of us around central NC have been flying a bunch of Parkzone T-28's in pseudo-formation and it's been an absolute blast for both pilot and spectators alike. Our record so far has been 24 flying together at once. That was a sight to see and be a part of.

But they do everything bigger at Joe Nall. So let's all bring our T-28's and get at least 40 in the air at once. Here's a few pics to warm you up to the fun.

So who's in? Please vote in the poll so we can get an accurate head count.

If you have one, you KNOW. If you don't, get one and YOU WILL.

How about after-hours T-28 races?!?!?!?!? Can you imagine 40 of those suckers going around a couple of pylons?!?!?!? It would probably look and sound like a swarm of angry white faced hornets!!!!! I imagine mid-airs would be aplenty though... but still fun!
