Early Saturday morning, the day before the 2003 SCRC annual Airshow, the club members collected at the SCRC Flying Site to erect the spectator protection fence.

The early arrivals had a chance to check out Mark Evan's new plane

    

Erecting the fence begins but it looks like some direction is needed!
Now everybody seems to know what they are doing except those guys checking out the airplane in the car.

Sam Stitzer sums it all up in the SCRC Newsletter, he wrote: We had a good day for our Air Show.  It was warm with a moderate wind which changed direction from time to time.  We had about 35 flights in the show and we were crash-free!  Planes and helicopters of all types were flown to the delight of a large crowd. The Centre Daily Times had a photo of Sandy Jaffe and his scale Hughes 500 chopper in Monday's edition (See below), and channel 10 (WTAJ) news featured about 30 seconds of voice-over video of planes flying, and an interview with Mark Wharton!  

As with other recent SCRC events, Roy Long, pictured above, has provided excellent photo coverage of the Airshow.  Click here to see the 48 photos he took while at the Airshow.

Woody Struble's STOP sign.  Is he signaling the end of the Airshow?
