Central Florida Control Line Fly-In
The Ridge Barnstormers of Lake Wales hosted the fifth Central Florida Control Line Fly-In on Thanksgiving weekend, November 29, at the George Breen Field in Lake Wales, Florida. The event was a success and was attended by fliers from across Florida.
The weather cooperated for a fun-filled, non-competitive day of flying, full of great flying, great companionship, and an appreciative crowd of spectators. There were many different airplanes on the line, and the day was marked by only one terminal flight.
The pilots flew into the late afternoon, then sat around talking stunt until nearly dusk. It’s a great gathering for Southeast control-line fliers.
Thanks to the Barnstormers Café and crew for good burgers and brats, and to all who helped set up the field for this event. Thanks also to those who attended and to Phil Coopy for arranging this event each year. Plan to attend next Thanksgiving weekend — you’ll have fun.
