Went to my first airshow in about 5 or 6 years this past weekend. We were invited to fly our little models before the actual show started. Saturday, everything went off just fine, but Sunday we kept getting interrupted by arrivals.......

We knew this guy was coming cuz we were talking to him on the radio....didn't think he would be this low...or that fast - about 300 knots..... It was quite and experience being that close to an aircraft in flight without actually being on board!

Wow is right, that's low, close and fast. I bet that got the adrenaline going.

hard to say...we saw him coming, and he kept dipping lower and lower..the only thing I remember thinking was "should I duck?"...then whoooooooooooooooosh.......!
