bulletFriday 28th September
 

Omagh MFC Auction - a good turnout and Adrian
did an excellent job as auctioneer.

Almost everyone brought something to sell and
joined in the fun which got more lively after 9pm.

Some indoor flying took place while the financial
matters were sorted out - well done once again
to the Omagh Club for a well organised evening.

This was Dick's glider (mind your head please!)
going under the hammer.

 

bulletSunday 23rd September

Ballymoney scale day.

bulletWednesday 19th September

NIAA meeting at Dungannon.

bulletSunday 16th September
 

NI Area Aerobatic competition at New Buildings
organised by NWMAC.

The day started out with heavy rain but that didn't
deter a group gathering to compete - and
scoff the burgers from the barbeque.

The rain stopped and three rounds of competition
with fun flying in between rounds and afterwards.

 

Phelim collects the trophy for 2007 - well done!

 

bulletSaturday 15th September
 

Dungannon model flying club fly-in. A fine collection of
aircraft arrived from across the country, the sun came out
and everybody had a very good day.

Well done to the organisers and thank you!

 

Plenty of flying and lots of chat, tea and buns.

 

bulletSunday 9th September
Letterkenny model flying club fly-in.


A great day with a gentle breeze straight down the runway,
and possibly the biggest model turnout to a fly-in this year!

Electric and IC aircraft, helicopters and jets flew all day with queues for the flightline.

Thanks to Seamus for the photograph, this was only half
of the aircraft there.

Ken and Davy had a lot of questions to answer.

A crowd gathered along the fence for every flight.

We were presented with a very nice brass plaque
and this letter arrived afterwards:

'On behalf of NW Fermanagh Vintage Club, thank you
for coming along and doing the model aircraft display.
The day was a great success.
This year all proceeds are going to MS.'

 

bulletSaturday 28th July

Helicopter fly-in at Newbuildings organised by NWMAC.

Sunshine and a breeeze right down the strip led
to non-stop flying all day long.

Harry started an autorotation competition -
Here's Clifford trying to get the T-Rex 600 skids onto the mat.

Harry's Agusta is looking good with the retracts
moving up slowly and in sequence.

 

bulletWednesday 11th July
 

JWM Indoor flying event at Enniskillen Lakeland Forum.

Here's Derk van der Vecht, the (crazy) Dutch indoor
champion flying my doodlebug.

He flew a shocky to music and astonished us with
his precision aerobatics - this is the way to go!

Paul Heckles gave us an excellent helicopter display.

Thanks to our local indoor people for bringing plenty of
models to share with the visitors.
