Date Changed to Saturday, October 7th !!!
For the 4th year in a row, the 114th RC Aero Squadron in Grapevine Texas is hosting “Warbirds over Grapevine” , a fun fly, airshow and fundraiser for Snowball Express. This is a fun event with door prizes, outstanding lunch, flight awards, a huge raffle and some really outstanding displays of airmanship. I’m the CD for the event.
Supporting Veterans groups have always resonated with our club members. All proceeds go to Snowball Express a 4 star charity supporting the children of our men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country since 9/11. We had several Snowball families attend last year and the kids had a blast in a WW-II simulator that was donated for the event.
Our grass field located inside Meadowmere Park is one of the best on the planet. EDF’s are not a problem. We’'ll have plenty of A-10 Warthogs, F5’s and Mig-21’s flying amongst scale gas powered giant scale warbirds and smaller electric models.
In years past we’ve even had full scale warbird flyovers. We’re hopeful to have this again this year. DFW tower has been kind enough to close runways 18R and 13L for 15 minutes. That’s a big deal.
Here’s a news clip from a 2 years ago: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/video/330571...-In-Grapevine/
In our very first event, we led the nation in raising money for the Wounded Warrior Foundation on Model Aviation Day.
Of course, we scourge the earth looking for sponsors and donations.
More information will be coming soon so stay tuned. Make it to North Texas on October 7th ! Make it a weekend. Bring your family. There’s plenty to see and do around the area.Camping is available.
We're on Facebook and also have our own webpage: http://114thrc.org/
