District IV
The DCRC Club held the District IV International Miniature Aircraft Association (IMAA) Big Bird event September 9-12, 2010, at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton, Virginia. Andy Kane served as Contest Director (CD), supported by many members of the club. As usual, there were many airplanes and plenty of flying over the several-day event.
The weather was almost too good to be true. The site was excellent, with permanent toilet facilities and plenty of food and drinks. Flying Circus Aerodrome is a full-scale airport with plenty of flying room for full-scale aircraft and models too. On Sunday there was an air show, with a model exhibition starting the festivities after lunch.
Hank Masoulf took the pictures and reported there were 82 pilots and 120 planes.
