A reminder to all that the ORA model weekend is coming up on Sept. 7 & 8. It is open to models up to I believe 1937. Their are no size restrictions. The full size show will be carried out in the afternoon on both days. This is a wonderful event year in and out. *;D

DJ,
Not familiar with "ORA". Are we talking radio control, other flying scale or static models?

ORA = Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The Jamboree is a two day R/C scale event combined with the outstanding Rhinebeck airshow in the afternoon.

Mike,
Just call me obtuse! Should have been able to figure that one out. I don't think they give flights in the American Standard on the RC weekend though.
Like your Culpepper flag by the way.

No rides on the R/C weekend (although my father and I did get a formation flight and some mild aerobatics over Rhinebeck and the Hudson River in Brian Coughlin's Sterman and Gene DeMarco's Stampe when they were flying them out of Skypark one R/C weekend 8) ).

Glad you like the flag (it's actually the Gadsden flag), I'm still trying to find one a bit sharper graphically though.

The ORA Jamboree was an undisputed success! On Saturday there was over 150 models displayed. The weather was perfect with temperatures in the 80s and winds under 5mph both days. For those who missed it, put it on your calender for next year. Due to the low winds, They flew their pioneer aircraft higher and further than I've ever seen them. in particular, They wagged the wings vey dramatically and zig zagged down the runway with teir 1909 Bleriot.
