THE GRETNA Radio Flyers cosponsored
the Warbirds over Virginia with the Giant
Scale Warbird Association October 3-4, 2007.
Rod Jaeger was CD and Chris Joiner from the
Warbird Association was there to assist.
The club field did not mature enough to
use last year so they had to cancel the event.
Many fliers attended this time to use a new
grass runway with plenty of room. The
weather was great so there was plenty of
flying. Pilots came from Virginia, North
Carolina, Maryland, Florida, and Georgia.
This was a good crowd to christen a new
field.
Food was available onsite; people did not
have to leave and could get in more flying in
the beautiful Virginia
countryside. My guess is that this
will be an annual event.
Some of the aircraft present
included Dave McQueeney’s
radial-engine Bearcat; Rod
Jaeger’s B-25; Dave Feplestein’s
P-51; Terry Lamb’s Waco
biplane; Jo Oglesby’s P-47; Jerrel
Bolick’s Corsair; Roger Spoor’s
Me 110; and William Cofer’s
beautiful D.VII.
Chris Joiner’s L-4.
Joe Oglesby’s S.E.5a.

THE WINSTON-SALEM RC club held
its annual swap meet in a new, larger
building this year at the Dixie Fairgrounds
in Winston-Salem, North Carolina,
November 10, 2007. There were vendors
galore to fill the new facility. Norm
McPherson and Phil Vance kept everything
organized and moving.
There were plenty of door prizes
donated by local businesses to give away.
The International Miniature Aircraft
Association’s District IV director, Bill
Hamby, staffed the IMAA booth.
The pictures show the activity and
modelers looking for a bargain. There
were plenty of items to get their
attention. Many went home happy with
what they had acquired. Just wait until
next year!
