Several more sponsors have signed on for this year including MaxAmps and Xoar Propellers. Also looks like we will have free event T-shirt for registered pilots. It's going to be even bigger than past years. Expecting 130+ registered pilots. Already have about 25 RVs coming in on Wednesday. We always recommend pre-registration. Nothing paid up front, just at arrival.

I have the F-14 ,F-16 in 70 and 90 ,euro fighter and stinger 90 . I will also be getting the A-10 and 1600 spitfire as well. I am 15 minutes north of watkinsg glen right next to Seneca lake. I think you are 2 1/2 hours away not to bad not for the enjoyment to fly.

Nope, TJ's club site is just under 70mi (hour and half) via Rt79 from Watkins Glen. ;) Notice where Owego is on that map :)

Will do Brad. Where are you located? One great thing is that the new 80mm A-10 will qualify as Giant Scale (130" combinde ws and fuse length for jet class). Maybe you, Warbird Charlie and I can do so formation demos with them. Would be nice to have Motion RC represented at the event. Expecting over 120 pilots, over 10,000 spectators and newpaper and TV coverage as usual.

Now, due to popular demand, the event has been expanded to four full days! It has also been re-branded to the Aeros' Festival of Giants.

Come fly with us at one of the best flying sites around. It takes place at the scenic and historic Chenango Bridge Airport, near Binghamton, NY. It is on a full scale private airport with a close cut grass runway and wide open overfly area. None of those pesky trees.

Overnight hanger storage will be available. Free on-site RV camping(no hook-ups). Early arrival on Aug 9th OK. Landing Fee $20.00 pre-registered, $25.00 at event.

Great pilot prizes form our sponsors. Smokey Legend BBQ will be serving some great food again this year.
