Kingsbury National Model Aviation Day Fly In
I attended the National Model Aviation Day at Kingsbury. Ed Valls and company did a great job and the Pioneer Flight Musuem is a great attraction. I added a picture of a young man who won a smart charger in the drawing. They told his Dad that he had to buy him an airplane now.

6th. Annual Aeromodelers of Acadiana Warbird Airshow
Aeromodelers of Acadiana Warbird Airshow – March 24-27, 2022
AOA opened the Southern Louisiana flying season with its 6th. annual Warbird event. Forty-one pilots showed up and registered from places as far away as Virginia. Once again, this year the Texas Warbird group showed up and flew from Thursday through Sunday. Great food, the beautiful AOA flying site, southern hospitality, and hardy cross winds on Friday challenged and rewarded the pilots. From the giant scale Tri-wing to the eighty-pound Hellcat, there was something for everyone to admire and enjoy. AOA’s camp sites are coveted and many pilots reserved their spot for next year before departing Breaux Bridge, Louisiana for home. Pictured is Albert Thibodeaux, from Cajun Black Sheep RC, a perennial guest at AOA events.
Watch the AOA Facebook page for 7th. Annual event next year. It keeps getting bigger!
