About two miles from ye old trailer park ( Oop's, Betsy keeps reminding me that we are living in an RV Resort) there is a field where they fly radio control airplanes. When I have a few minutes I'll run up there to watch them fly. They've come a long way from the string control weapons that were available when I was a kid. I received one of the old ones as a Christmas gift one year. I remember that trying to start it was very dicey. I'm probably very lucky that my fingers are still intact. I did manage to fly it--once. It went straight up and then straight down. It was a beautiful flight until it hit the ground about 3 seconds later. So much for my budding aviation career. The radio control planes of today are quite something. Some even have retractable landing gears. I really enjoy looking at the various types of planes being flown and especially the size that they've become. Enjoy the pictures.
