Greetings from Albuquerque, NM. Lots of flying in the cold mornings. We have had some cold days. Nothing like up north and back east. Snow and rain with high winds have stopped us a couple days. This week is was pretty good with about 32 degrees to start out and then get warmer.
I had an idea the didn’t go well. I was going to new year event like the Polar bear clubs do each winter. It was going to be the first Frozen Coyote fly in. We were to strip to our speedo’s, take off, fly 3 laps and land. No takers and I wasn’t going to do it by myself. So. it didn’t happen. The flying was good fully dressed and it got warmer later in the day. I didn’t get any pictures. Who wants to see a bunch of old men in their swim suits? Not me.
Maybe we can get this done next year. In the mean time, get out and fly, join the AMA and your local club.

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.

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!
