Love Air RC will again be hosting one of the nation’s best warbirds events with over 140 pilots and many, many great aircraft at Drake Field east of Ft Collins CO. In case you are a first time flyer at this event, the runway is 800 ft. x 70 ft wide and there are no obstructions.
This event is designed especially for the warbird pilot. The landing fee $50.00. All aircraft must have been used in the military and be in military paint schemes. Aircraft of any scale, including arfs, are welcome. This means lots of open flying without interference from flying lawn mowers or 3D planes. The noon will feature fly-bys by a full scale Seafury and AT-6; the pyro show will be even more spectacular and there are openings for big bombers and fighters to participate.
Thousands of dollars in R/C merchandise has been donated with most of it going to the pilots over the 3-day event. Some items will be sold at auction during the Saturday night banquet.
Famous Dave’s BBQ will be the official field food vendor for 2009. Friday night there will be an impromptu Famous Dave’s “Big Pig” dinner on the field; tickets are $20.00.
The banquet on Saturday night will be held at the Lory Student Union, at Colorado State University. The sit down dinner features prime rib, salmon or a vegetarian option with all the fixings, soft drink and dessert. Cost is $35 per person. A no host bar will also be available. The banquet will be both entertaining and full of surprises. The guest speaker, a highly decorated ace from WW II Ace, will provide an entertaining, informative talk. Banquet tickets are available on-line or by mail; a limited number of tickets will be available at the field. Please buy your tickets early as seating is limited.
