172 MODEL AVIATION
LAST MONTH I showed a few shots of the
Tulip City Air Force’s (TCAF) Big Bird
Classic held June 10-11, 2006. This month
is a follow-up including pictures that will
give a better idea of what went on.
The reason for this follow-up is simply
because my camera decided to go south and
I lost all my pictures. After I contacted
TCAF member, John Russcher, he sent me
some CDs of pictures that will give an
overview of the event. Thank you, John.
This is the TCAF flightline.
Corky Hietman’s Cub.
Corky Hietman gives seven-year-old Brennen
Forgerty some preflight direction.
Corky Hietman is a former International
Miniature Aircraft Association vice
president, with contest winner Brennen
getting some stick time.
A Corsair ...
a Phantom ...
and a P-80.
There are many more pictures but I have
limited space. What I can say is that the
event was well attended with both pilots and
spectators. It appeared that all had a good
time.
Till next time. Introduce a kid to our
hobby, fly safely, and have a good time.
