40874 - yours looks the best despite being the highest time bird. Very scale looking - except for the landing gear.

Mike's new lense is awesome,

DB

and to think that I almost tossed it in the garbage after it crashed the last time! Thankfully that didn't happen. That was a fun afternoon!

Best,

Brent sent out these photo copies that were taken from the Electric flying magazine....

Here's a few of the other Apollo Field warbirds that were down at the field this monring.

That P-51 looks very nice and scale. Mike D takes great pics.

looks a tad cold though - I am still in bed resting a head cold.

My first post on RC Groups! Right here!
B-17F "My Gal Nikki" will be pulled out of the hangar and ready for missions with the Squadron next month. The B-24D will be getting some heavy maintanance too about that time.
I'll have to get a new picture showing the dummy engines. Both are glow powered.

Glad to see you made it here, Dail. Nice pics, and looking forward to flying with you again. I am hoping to have engine sound in my Fort next month............maybe!

I think I'm going to try to put that MrRcSound Module in my B-17 as well as my P-51 very soon. The new version looks pretty great!

Hey Corey,

Welcome to RC Groups and this thread! Thanks for posting the photos! Looking forward to flying lots of missions with you this year.

All the best,

Hey Corey,

great to have you join us over here on the "dark side"! :-) That's a fantastic picture that Mike took with you and your B-17 in scale! We need to get one like that for each squadron pilot with his B-17....that would be cool!

The Apollo Field War-bird Squadron was once again out in force! On Saturday, March 16th, we held one of our biggest gatherings to date! A total of well over 40 airplanes including 9x B-17's, 7x B-25's, and 10x P-51 Mustangs all sharing the ramp together!


Here are some of the photos taken from today:

Those are such great photos! We had a really great line up today! I had a very good time out there, and it was great flying with all of the P-51s!

Here are the rest of the pictures that Mike took from Saturday. It was a great day, great turnout, and another great gathering of the Apollo Field Warbirds!

Mike shot lots of "film" and was able to capture everybody and their planes.

Just click on a picture to view the filmstrip...

Enjoy!

Looks like a blast guys. Sorry I was away!

For those interested, the B-29 "Fifi" and several other warbirds will be at Burbank this coming weekend.

I am Hawkeye, the newest member of the group. It was a hoot to be there Saturday for the huge turnout and great camaraderie. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Fly safe.
