Remote Control Model Flying
July 7, 2012
Hatz-Meyer Field on Shiloh Road, just north of FM1171...
Another big crowd showed up:
Tommy Meyer
Gary Osborne
Mike Duran
Phil Witt
Cecil Langham
Mark Lowe, was a first timer last event and he wasn't scared off
And first timers:
Mike Cressey, of Extreme 2 Classic Motorcycle Shop
Brent Groff, of Old Town Hobby Shoppe
and Jim Kitz
and me, LJ, to shoot the place up.
Heck, even Bob Forsyth of Council 9884 Knights of Columbus showed up on his motorcycle.

The most spectacular shot that I took the entire day.
Can you see it? If not, scroll down for the answer.
A Bald Eagle in the clouds!!!
These flyers were not handled by Remote Control
Bob Forsyth listens in on Phil Witt and Tommy Meyer
If it hovers, it's probably Mike Duran's
The day started with a lovely clearing of light clouds but the best was yet to come.
Jim Kitz has drawn a crowd to watch... sorry, no pics of the craft... Jim has to come back!
We don't allow helicopters at Hatz-Meyer Field,
so that's gotta be one BIG insect!
