[quote]ORIGINAL: G-Pete ...that would be 160feet!!![X(] [/quote] Ahhh, yes it would be soemthign like that. Original plan was to fly there IN THE BLIMP. Then switch to RC mode for the actual event. Then return to wherever he lived back in the blimp - weather willing.

RE: Flugtag 09
If I remember correctly, wasn't Warlord going to build a 1/5th scale model of the Hindenburg? He was in talks with a company that built blimps from the tread on RCSB. IT would both be operated manned, or by radio control. interesting idea - but thats all that it turned out to be I guess.

Full Scale F-16 Deadstick landing vid
Discovered this video here and I can recommend that you watch it. Its of a Israeli F-16 that suffered a engine problem and instead of ejecting, the pilot decided to glide it back to base. Low quality, but you should check it out (http://ericpalmer.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/israeli-f-16-engine-out-landing/).

RE: Heavy Metal Warbird Fly-In Lubbock, TX
Old Technology Still in Action! Doug H's Yellow Aircraft A-4 (Duct-Fan) takes off on another hairy mission. After about three orbits, the engine died and he dead-stick it downwind into the grass. That part of the landing was great! Then it slid out onto the runway and picked up some road rash. Well, thats it for what I took at this years event. Looking forward to the 2010 Event!

[quote]ORIGINAL: smitty1001 Too bad the ban on sport jets - great site to fly at and a decent road trip from DFW. Looks like the weather was more cooperative than the last two years of the Jet Rally at least. [/quote] Uhmmm, over heard a rumor that something is being planned in the next two months. Others will post details on it if it does indeed come about. Now, here are some pictures from Sunday, Aug 9, 2009 that I took.

RE: Roll Call for T-38 Jet Rally
Well, there was still a Jet Rally going on today. Thehard part was actually being able to get out to the flying site and later - get out again! Several people got stuck in the mud. But, there were still people who did make it out to fly their model jets. Here are some photos from today gathering.

Early this morning around 4am, Lubbock was hit with some heavy thunderstorms and real massive lightning lighting up the skies. When I got up this morning, I found this waiting for me. Going to have to swim out I guess...

RE: WINGS Warbird Invitational, West Texas
For those of you who might be interested in buying a Top Flite B-25 ARF, I will have my kit with me Saturday morning for inspection. And if you bring along enough $$$, you can take it home with you. I'm holding off posting this on RCU until after this event takes place. Its just the arf. no landing gear or engines included.

RE: Lets See Your Kit Bashed ARF With Scale Detail!
Look at my aviatar. That was my first H9 P-51 with a saito .72 for power. flew very scale like. But most of the folks at my flying field hung saitos 100 on the front end. I now have another H9 that has been striped and recovered too.
