More Summer Activities at MRRCS

 6-22-2022

The weekend of the 25th we were going up to the Mt Rainier Radio Control Society EDF Jet Rally by Roy, WA.  Because of the long walk from the motor home to the pit area I asked Michelle if I could borrow her folding wagon.  James brought it up this afternoon and it fit perfectly under the dinette.  It worked great and we ended up buying one before our next trip up there.

This is the view out the windshield where we parked at the MRRCS field.

Vera spent her birthday relaxing in the shade watching me fly.  It was a great spot for her, she could see everything and there was a nice breeze all day that made it very comfortable.

I spent the day putting planes together, visiting with other members who showed up to fly and flying my planes.  If you look close I am sitting down by the runway flying.   Friday the 24th was more flying and visiting with people who showed up.

By 9AM quite a few flyers had shown up for the Jet Rally.

The Eurofighter on the table is one of my favorite planes, I wish I still had mine.

Mike's planes, he had eighteen of them there and flew most of them during the day.  There were twenty two registered pilots and I don't think anyone just brought one plane so there was lots to look at and watch.  Mike was parked next to us and slept in his cargo trailer with the planes.  His air mattress went flat during the night and then the power for his heat tripped out.  He spent the rest of the night sleeping in the cab of his pickup and running the motor every two hours to stay warm.  He asked if it bothered us but we never heard it.

I was sure surprised when our friends Dan and Vicky showed up to watch.  We had a nice visit with them.

My planes are on Michelle's wagon that I used to pack them down to the field.
 

Mt Rainier looks so peaceful in the distance.

I zoomed up on it and boy is it rugged up there!

About ten when we had settled down for the night this little forked horn came wandering by even though the other campers were still outside sitting around the firepit.

I flew the F-4 this morning before taking it apart.

I put a couple of flights on the Skylane before we headed home.  It was a great four days we spent here.
