DCRC Flying Circus Aerodrome Fly-In (Bealeton, Virginia — September 9, 2006)
The DCRC club held another successful fly-in at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton, Virginia, on September 9, 2006. The weather was a little hot, but turnout was good. CD (Contest Director) Andy Kane ably kept things in order.
There was extensive flying Friday and Saturday featuring all types of civilian and warbird aircraft. Several jets attended, along with electric-, nitro-, and gasoline-powered airplanes.
Sunday was reserved for a model-flying demonstration in the morning and a full-scale air show in the afternoon. This year Andy Kane received a District IV award for his hard work and continued support of aeromodeling. The award was presented during the evening meal on Saturday.
Congratulations and thank you, Andy — you have certainly earned it.
