February 26th & 27th
Yuma Air Model AirShow
We went out to see the show of model aircraft that were on display. The first day the members of the club were showing off there aircraft. Some members were novice & others quite experienced. They were putting them through there paces. We saw one disintegrate in the air. End of show for him. The second day was a time trial and races with prizes handed out for the winning participants. You could tell there was a vast array spent on the aircraft there. Some were models from kits, others you could tell that there owners had spent a lot of time, care & money in their hobby.
This was on the 27th. Second day & weather was nicerand this model was particuarily nice
