The Malchione boys, Dave, Dave Jr.,
and Pete campaigned this Skymaster A-10 Warthog using twin JetCat
P-100's for power. This Desert Camo scheme is just one of
several paint schemes available.

| Mike Lesher from Lebanon, Pa. enjoys
this X-Treme Jets Viper II. Mike's smile reflects his
satisfaction with the product and the fabulous "First In Flight"
event. |

This Electra started as an all white
airframe. Just a little coaching at the BVM factory allowed
R.J. Gonzalez to design this scheme, paint, and trim it as shown
here. Passing these skills along to the new generation of
modelers is important. |

|
| Harley Condra helped BV get some
flights on the new single seat Ultra Bandit with JetCat P-200 power.
The wing tanks aid visibility and the JetCat Speed Limiting
Device (left fuse front) keeps the speed below 200mph. |

This BVM 80" Sabre was originally
built by Jerry Caudle. Its Boeing Chase Plane scheme is
brilliant in the air in the very capable hands of its new owner Joe
Rafalowski. |
| |
|
| Here's another view of the Sabre along
with Joe's BVM F-100 and Ultra Bandit and Greg Gottschang's Ultra. |

A visit with two nephews and a
grand nephew was much appreciated by Uncle Bob. L-R: Jack Schoeb, his dad John Schoeb, Sean Geoghan, and BV. 12 yr old
Jack is very enthused by model A/C and spent some time on the flight
line with me. We shall encourage his involvement. |

|
| Mark Edwards, Bob Fiorenze, and Suzy
traveled to Wilson from Orlando, Fl. Mark's Electra was built from
the kit version and finished in the Blue Angle scheme. |
 |

|
 |
A perfect attitude for a centerline
touch down on one of Mark's nine flights at First In Flight. |
| |
|
| Team Dimaio converted this early BVM F-16 to
EVF ~3~ 12S power with excellent results. Steve, Anthony, and Sam
pose with the Falcon just after its first flight. |

Ritchie Latteier and pretty girlfriend pose with
an early vintage BVM BobCat XL. We love to see building and
finishing craftsmanship remain part of our hobby. |

The Malchione BVM F-4 is in its 13th year of
service. |

|
| Dave Malchione Jr. helps
to keep the Malchione fleet airborne. Dave Jr. is our youngest field
Rep. and very experienced. |

|
| Fresh from its Top Gun Pro-Am win. The
Skymaster F-9F Cougar on Rhino power attracts a lot of attention
every time Dustin flies it. |

Harold Little is truly enjoying his
(and brother James') EVF 12s powered MiG-15. Dustin assisted
many BVM customers during "First In Flight". BV just landed the
Parade scheme MiG in time for this photo. |

| Ricardo Mirandes flies all
of dad's BVM Jets and with exceptional skill. F-100's are
still popular at major jet events. |

Steve Stricker from Sparks, Md. was really
pleased with his Skymaster Phantom in the Marine Centennial livery.
The JetCat P-140 seemed a good match. The first flight was
perfect. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| |
|
| The very organized
installation shows some BVM pneumatic accessories and is the handy
work of Steve and Peter Goldsmith. |

| Scott Harris campaigned
his Jet World Master's competition Sabre (BVM 80") with JetCentral
Cheetah power. For this Skymaster F-16, Scott applied this one
of a kind patriotic scheme. |
| |
|
| We happened to be in the air at the
same time, so Dave Malchione and BV accomplished some formation
maneuvers. The eBandit and Sabre are both EVF ~3~ 12s powered
and use ThunderPower batteries. |
 |

|
|
A pleasant surprise for BV when the
"Wright Stuff" award was presented at the end of the 3rd annual
First In Flight event. Previous winners Dustin Buescher and
Reggie Showers were part of the presentation along with event
organizers Robert Vess, Larry Lewis, and Michael Hollowell.
