FROM FRANK A. REGA of the
Tidewater Radio Control club in
Chesapeake, Virginia, came the following
report about the Mid Atlantic Jet Rally,
held May 24-25, 2003.
“The Jet Rally turned out to be one of
the best in 14 years, despite the threatening
weather.
“We had two full days of flying and no
rain. There were 25 registered pilots and
about 70 aircraft. There were three
incidents on Saturday, mostly due to pilot
error.
“The Navy did a fine job of cooking for
the many spectators who had arrived over
the weekend. Between Saturday and
Sunday there must have been 500 or more
spectators enjoying the show.
“Dave Malchione Jr. flew his dad’s
BVM F-100 and what a fine job he did. He
makes it looks effortless. Dave Jr. also
won two awards, Top Gun Senior and Best
Military Scale with the F-100.
“Todd Witkoff flew his Eurofighter
logging more flights than anyone else over
the weekend. He also won Pilot’s Choice.
There was a raffle for a BAE hawk
donated by Larry Wolfe of Jet Hangar
Hobbies.
“Even though Bob Violett could not
attend this year, he sent along a very
generous box of goodies to be raffled off.
“Joey Templeton flew his BAE hawk
late Saturday night. It was very impressive
how fast it flew with an O.S. .46 and
Turbax fan unit.
“I want to thank the sponsors we had at
the meet including Simjet, PST Turbines,
and Debbie’s R/C World. If you are ever in
Virginia Beach, you must visit Debbie’s.
“I hope next year’s event turns out to be
just as good as this one. It was a lot of
fun.”
