The Alliance Balsa Bees hosted the annual Dawn Patrol today located at their flying field at Barber Airport. I regret not taking my "real" camera but the iPhone seemed to do ok. Rick Jacobs said attendance was down from previous years but there were still some beautiful models. This was one of the clubs I grew up with, some of my fondest memories back in the 80s and 90s were hanging out and flying with these guys. Rick was kind enough to let me fly his 1/3 scale Pup...what a sweetheart of an airplane. Dave Wenman was also gracious enough to let me fly his Eindecker, another great flying airplane. It's been a long time since I've seen these guys and it was a great day.
Business end of Ricks Pup
