Just Plane Fun

The UTE RC Expo and Warbirds event was held August 16 and 17. We went on Saturday and had plenty of fun in the sun. One of the highlights was bringing Draper with us and showing him what our model airplane hobby is all about. And Draper is now thinking about getting a model helicopter.

The saddest part of the day is when the NexStar met a tree. And the tree won the battle. It probably could be fixed, with lots of time and TLC. But Aaron decided to retire the NexStar. It served us faithfully for over a year. Although Aaron will miss having it to fly, he's moved up to the Super Sportster.

These are some of the planes we saw flying around: a foam Boeing 777 passenger jet, a giant PT-17 Stearman biplane, an electric helicopter, and yes that is a flying lawnmower.

And then, to complete the day, when Zeke and I took Draper home, Zeke found Dynna's stuffed cat, picked it up, and I wondered if he would ever put it down. Zeke just loves cats. He is so precious.
