Brodak (shown together in the photo)
invite a few hundred of their special
friends to come to Carmichaels,
Pennsylvania, to frolic and compete with
special model airplanes in their back yard
in the rolling hills of southwestern
Pennsylvania.
This year’s event, held June 13-16, saw
273 entrants put up just less than 700
flights in a bewildering array of events
including Old-Time Stunt, Classic Stunt,
Profile, and PAMPA [Precision Aerobatics
Model Pilots Association] Stunt (with four
skill classes in each!). There was also
Clown Racing, Foxberg Racing, Speed
Limit Combat, Navy Carrier Classes I and
II, Profile Carrier, and Sportsman Carrier.
