Lon.......You're so fortunate, that is the BEST club field I have seen and I've seen a grunch ;)

So true Charlie!! Everytime I arrive at the field and get out of my vehicle...It's at least 15 minutes before i can wipe off that smile on my face!:)And what's icing on the cake, is all the great active members. Not a bad egg to be found. And there is a great smorgasbord of interrests in aircraft owned and flown....gas, nitro, electric....

Short on time to drive to the club field. So I went to my local go to place to fly. Large parking lot in Bellevue Iowa. My camo F-86 with drop tanks flight.

Here's a good photo of the field taken last year at our annual airshow.

Maybe I'll just follow him back home after NEFI and camp at his airfield till they force me to have to join that club, that's when you know you've worn out your visitor status. :Silly:

[Lon]

That would be great....unfortunate it's such a long distance for both of you, though Gman will drive right by it on the way to NEFI.

Tried shooting more air to air video this weekend with my friend. I think we are finally starting to get the coordination done a bit better. Did 3 flights, with my Durafly Skyraider, Freewing F-86, and FMS P-51, and of course the only landing captured was the worst one Let me know what you guys think, any feedback is appreciated!

[Shirty]

Great vid. Nice one mate

[Lon]

SWEET!!! Very good. I can imagine that it's not that easy to get the coordination between the two of you, to capture the shots you did.

[F106DeltaDart]

Thanks guys! Coordination is definitely difficult. Mostly it consists of flying straight and level, and trusting the quad pilot to get close for the shot. However, getting your warbird that close to 4 spinning blades is the last think your brain wants you to do! Turns have to be communicated well in advance though, or its very easy to fly out of the shot. Hopefully next time we can try shooting some maneuvers. A roll captured from the tail would probably look pretty neat.

[Kloverzero]

Man, that is some AWESOME footage you are getting!!! You do realize however, the P-51 flies much better with the flaps UP!!! All joking aside, that is some of the best air to air footage I have seen. I have a few guys in my little flying circle with some good drones, and we are going to be trying it out next weekend. I had thought about putting the "Follow Me" bracelet in the plane, and see if it will stay with it!!

Time for a gunfight!

[Shirty]

Nice one Ben.

Cant remember if I posted these here. (Sorry if I have). Couple of old ones I made for the blokes I sometimes fly at a park with. ;)

[Shirty]

I much prefer flying at my regular club with the nice big bitumen strips, but park flying can be just as fun. :)

[Shirty]

Almost forgot parachute man! :)

Ben - No landing excuses........your just out of practice.;)
That job is getting in your way so get your butt home so you can come to NEFI and fly-fly-fly ! ! LOL
