Airshow action

Well, spent all day today at an airshow over here in Aus.  With all the talk on the travelling engine blog about snow & sub-zero temperatures it's a little hard to relate, so I'm with ekitten2.  Another hot one here.  Spent the day trying to watch the planes while trying to stay in the shade.  My vintage machinery club had a display there and, as usual, I took along a couple of display boards of model engines.  Most of the crowd are already into aircraft so the model engines always get a lot of attention.  I have quite a display of diesels and most comments relate to distant memories of bruised & cut fingers.  I think my McCoy .35 has inflicted more pain than any of my diesels.  My 1/2A board has my full range of Cox engines, which are always recognised and remembered favourably.
A little drama early on, but no injuries fortunately.  Prior to the show kicking off, this guy had trouble getting the plane to sit down in the heat off the asphalt and steady headwind & ended up on the road at the end of the strip.







Ouch....

Cheers.
Rod.
