Air Show Day with Dad (X2)
Today I took my dad to “Rockin AirFest 2006” AKA “The Van Nuys Air Show” and the “Giant Scale Squadron Fly-In” at the Apollo XI RC flying field. The weather was great; not too hot and not too cold. We saw everything that was cool and took lots of photos. At the “AirFest” there wasn’t much happening in the air while we were there but they did have some cool plans and helicopters on the tarmac that we could swarm. At the “Fly-In” the coolest things where the scale jets with REAL turbine engines! Wow, where they fast! The smell and sounds where awesome too! We overheard the owner of the A-10 “Warthog” saying that is cost over $38,000! Now that’s an expensive hobby. Aside from the turbines being a little smaller than the engine cowlings you’d never be able to tell that it wasn’t the real thing, the detail was incredible! Check it out.
