Palomar R/C Fliers Annual Air Show — September 11, 2004
The Palomar R/C Fliers' annual air show at Johnson Field in north San Diego County was another huge success. Local Boy Scout Troop 11 kicked off the event with the presentation of the colors.
Club instructor Duarte Cabral reported:
"Spectators and pilots with whom I spoke enjoyed it. I had the chance to watch other pilots' styles and the characteristics of their aircraft. I also noticed that everyone is unique in how they fly.
"One pilot did a four-point roll that was so low he had to remove thorns from the shrubs with the left wingtip.
"There were a number of new airplanes just released to the market and I enjoyed watching these airplanes fly. Of note was the Hangar 9 E Xtra and the Yak 54 by Kiki S.
"If you missed the air show, you missed out on the essence of the hobby and a great time!"
Tucson Aerobatic Shootout — October 21–24, 2004
The Tucson Aerobatic Shootout returned once again to the Old Pueblo. Under the direction of Michael Marcellin, this year's shootout was bigger and better than ever. The annual event is sponsored by Dave Johnson's Desert Aircraft and hosted by the Tucson International Modelplex Association (TIMPA). The TIMPA site west of Tucson, Arizona, has proven to be a perfect venue for the Shootout.
Now in its third year, this international event is attracting pilots from Canada, Europe, South America, New Zealand, and the entire United States to compete for $50,000 in merchandise and prizes.
Till next time ... Keep 'em safe and keep 'em fly'n.
