Last weekend (Aug 22nd) the Golden Age Air Museum had a RC fly-in event. This was my first time to the museum and the RC weekend event. My father is the one who sparked my interest in aviation, so he joined me on this trip.
I think Josh Bixler would have loved seeing all of these old timers.
The museum has lots of awesome planes and most of them still fly. I think the most impressive one is the Fokker Dr. 1 because of the rotary engine and that it is still in service. The do offer rides in a few of the planes for a reasonable fee.
The RC meet was held at the field and had lots of cool golden age scale models. Most of the models were gas and were pretty fast. The whole time I was there, there was at least three up in the air doing acrobatics or doing full speed low passes. The swap meet was a weak showing.

Time for Pictures: Please help me name all of these planes. Tell me which ones are which and I will add that to this post to help other readers identify the planes.
