MRRCS Jet Rally

 6-22-2023

We went up to the Mount Rainier Radio Control Society field today to attend their Jet Rally this weekend.

They were repairing and painting things today so I spent most of the day getting the motor home and planes set up.

There was fog hanging over the pond this morning, I took this picture at 5:21 AM.  I must have been excited to begin flying to be up that early!

I had a good day of flying the Tigercat, Mustang and Skylane.

We had quite a few of the same neighbors that we had last year.  They were all good neighbors.

This is one of the business type jets landing.  There were quite a few of them and models of airliners flying this weekend.

This member had a whole trailer load of airliners in addition to this one.

I really liked this model of the Grumman F9F Panther, it was fairly large and had a great sounding EDF.

We had a nice place to sit and watch, I didn't do a lot of flying.  Instead I just enjoyed watching the activities.

The B-1 bombers were sure fun to watch, the wings swing out for takeoff and then can be swept for high speed flight.

This pilot was from the Hood River area and he put on a great flying demonstration with his jet powered glider.

We saw quite a few C-17's this weekend as the field is near McCord AFB.  This one was fairly high and I will have to get a better one next time of one that is lower.  We spent an extra day this time and went home on Monday rather that Sunday afternoon.  That sure made a difference in the amount of traffic we had to deal with.
