West Coast Festival

A Beautiful Comp ARF at Sunset

Well the 13th Annual IMAA West Coast Festival is in the books. From my perspective on Saturday and Sunday it was a resounding success.

A Perfect Landing

I was told there were 400 aircraft at the event and it looked like it. Heck there was over 100 RV's camped out on the Ramp, as well as plenty of Vendors selling a wide array of items.

The Campaign Staff

We arrived at 10:00 in the morning on Saturday and the place was packed. The pilots were 10 deep waiting for a flying station to open up.

Les Mason's Hawker Hurricane

There was an enormous flight line that was lined shoulder to shoulder with spectators. Many of them modelers but a good percentage local folks enjoying a great day in the sun.

A beautiful model of the fastest home built around

There was every type of model imaginable. They ranged from WWI bi-planes to modern day jets.

A perfect Stinson Reliant

We were very fortunate to be allowed to tent camp at the Castle Air Museum. They have a fantastic collection that is worth a special trip to take it all in.

Strega

The organizers of this great weekend were our own Associate Vice Presidents Rick Maida, and Scott Malta they did a great job and had a lot of help from a whole group of volunteers. I can't wait until next year.
