I watched turbines fly in person for the first time at Bomber Field a couple weeks ago. Impressive to be sure! They're having a jet-specific event there towards the end of the month.

Sure, I don't think I can post video, but you can send pics

The turbines are really cool, complicated and stupidly expensive. And make impressive fireballs when they go in.  On the bigger twins its not uncommon to have $40k or more into it.  They are fun to watch fly.

Went to an RC fly-in today that was called Turbines and Tumble weeds.  First time I have been around any of the RC jets.  Got to admit they are pretty amazing. I thought the old glow fuel planes were expensive.... These things start at like $5000.00 for just the plane, then the jet engine is another $3000 to $5000, and then the Spektrum 14 channel radio with receiver is about $1500.  I have quite a few pics and some video's if Honcho wants to mess with them.

No worries.  I can always catch up with you later.

It's nicer in person.  And it's heavy.  But, my friend said that I could probably pick a rabbit off a fence post at half a mile with that thing.  Assuming I could see it... :eek5:  :disturbed:

Hey fellas, thanks! Been a fair quiet one (no, not a bad thing), burfday activities included draining my black tank and installing a pressure regulator on my water feed. Tonight I'm watching the Geo. C Scott classic Patton. Hadn't seen it in decades, and with all the historical books I've read over the years, I'm entertained mostly by the inaccuracies I'm catching.

All in all a good day, although I'm sorry I missed Jaime's call this morning...

Still waiting on the 37th raindrop to land here, though the radar shows me getting pummeled.

Anyone can draw a storm cartoon on a map...

Could be, it showed up this time.

That's pretty.
