This is a view of the grass runway
from the west. The surrounding terrain recedes. You could not hit a
tree if you tried. |

| Don DeSandre arrives in a huge rig
full of jets. This Bobcat and artfully painted Kingcat were his
favorites for the weekend. |

Jim Brown (R) assisted Chris Trump for
many flights on this seasoned Balsa Bandit. These friends from Canada
attend several jet events in the U.S.A.. Their efforts were awarded
with the "Best Sport Jet" trophy. |

| Alan DeLena has been operating
this Skymaster Sabre for a few years and again here in Hamburg. |

Andy Finizio applies his "Doctor of
Dentistry" skills to his jet models and absolutely loves this sport.
This F-100F and Ultra Bandit are just a part of his BVM fleet.
Andy heads up the jet contingent at the D.C.R.C. field
in Germantown,
MD. |

This was the 2nd Phantom out of the
BVM molds circa 1996. It is being readied here for just another of its
hundreds of flights. It is pushed along by an early Ram 1000 engine. |

| Dave Jr, Dave Sr, and Pete Malchione
have always made R/C jets their favorite part of the hobby. The Sabre
and Electra are both EVF powered and worked well from the grassfield. |

Ron Stahl really enjoys his Electra and
is now working on an EVF 5612 powered BVM F-80. Watch for it next
season. |
| |
|
| Dave Jr. very smoothly piloted this
BVM Ultra Bandit for the noontime airshow activities. |

Yes, we had a little crosswind one day
but the wide grass runway allowed us to operate. |

The Camo Electra is almost on
centerline for a
landing at Hamburg. |
 |

|
 |
| The BVM F-80 Shooting Star
is a perfect scale platform for Electric Fan power. This EVF 5612
example keeps winning trophies like the Hamburg Jet Rally "Best EDF" award. |
