49 by 29: July 16 - Air club...small-scale RC style



Coffee:
Percolated with milk at Jolene and Joel's house (Jeremy's sister and brother-in-law). AND...accompanied by homemade pancakes! YES! Thanks, Joel, Jolene, Jared, and Jessica, for your wonderful hospitality!

From the journal:
It was a down home, laid back Saturday. Jeremy and I joined Joel and the kids (Jared and Jessica) at a Delaware RC Club air show and spent the afternoon watching remote control airplanes take to the airwaves. It was a kick to watch these miniature replicas of our flying machines do barrel rolls and hammerheads. At one point, they had 23 World War I planes in the air! And at another point, an American plane and Japanese plane were re-enacting World War II...zooming and dive bombing all over the place. There were bi-wings and tri-wings and jets...all with miniature pilots wearing bomber jackets and aviator goggles and the like. I was truly impressed with the skill of the remote control pilots, too. Fun times!

Jer and I then went to Philadelphia to hang out with Christie, who was visiting from DC, and Jer's friends Dave and John...and some others, too. We sloshed beers (half liter of German Hefeweizen for me) at a German beer hall and enjoyed some lively conversation with friends old and new. I took no photos that evening, so the link is to Jeremy's photo of the beer hall.
