New England Guys -- Come On Up For The Maine Jet Rally

[aparchment]

If you love planes, and jets in particular, come on up to Sanford Maine and check out the Maine Jet Rally this weekend (www.mainejetrally.com). We will be burning up the skies with some beautiful model jets. 200 mile per hour low passes, 20 G snaps -- piece o' cake. We will also have an unlimited aerobatics demo by a world champion RC pilot flying a 40% scale Extra and Dan McCue flying his "full scale" L-39. I really hope we get to see him do his "dirty roll" on takeoff. Great stuff! Ummm, don't try anything you see at this show in your planes!

Park at Southern Maine Aviation and walk over.

I can't make it, but I'll be expecting pictures of the event. Sounds like it will be some cool stuff. I can't imagine RC at 200. I sometimes have trouble at 25.

Mebbe if WX doesn't cooperate for Oswego, ya might see me!

Good plan "B"!

Antony, Looks like I missed a good one!

We got sidetracked down here and ended up going to the fly in at Mansfield.

That F-4U looks cool!
