MAINE SCALE Shoot-out: This will be
the 11th year for this event. The dates this
year are August 1, 2, and 3, 2003.
Last year David and Jason Shulman
attended and did several demonstrations as
well as flying in the contest. Unfortunately,
I understand they are not planning to attend
this year.
This event is really worth attending and
is a very enjoyable weekend. The Saturday
night dinner put on by Bill Reeve and his
staff is well worth the trip!
The following pictures are some of the
airplanes from last year’s event.
Lloyd Roberts and his Stearman PT-17.
Charlie Nelson and his WACO.
Tom Keeney and his Polish Wilga.
Mitch Buckley and his P-47. Mitch did
some spectacular flying.
Linwood Whitten and his Nieuport and
Fokker Tri-plane. These well-done models
are finished with latex paint.
David and Jason Shulman were kept busy
all weekend flying and helping people.
They were a welcome addition to the
contest.
Lindsey Smith with a Piper J-3.
Bill Killam and Dick Kellett’s Fokker D.VIII.
Bob Johnson and his Aeronca L-16.
Tom Kosewski starts his Sopwith Pup
while his son holds the aircraft.
Dave Skillings with his P-38 are shown
with Dave Shulman who flew the airplane
in the contest.
This is a DC-3 by Paul Johnson, and
should be at this year’s event.
This is another view of Paul’s DC-3. I hope
to include more on the history of this
airplane next month.
