Model Airplanes @ the Fly Yuma RC Air Show 2022 North of Yuma, AZ

There are many events going on in and around Yuma this winter.  





Eric & I drove north of Yuma
to the Model Airplane Field...




... to watch Radio Controlled
to the sky.







After paying the admission fee, Eric finds a parking spot near the Air Field and we follow the crowd towards the activity...





Blue Lable Mobile Bar offers
customers Water, Soda, 
Lemonade, Gatorade...





to keep visitors caffeinated.





The Smokin Hen House has
a line of hungry customers.





Thrifty Ice Cream for all.





Some Model Airplane owners
bring their planes & tools
in trailers.















Visitors sit behind the fence,
facing the paved runway.

Three planes wait for their
flight times.









Planes vary in size & choice







They can be gas-powered or electric-powered.  Others have jet or rocket propulsion.






I get glimpses of planes
near the runway.











It's a perfect day to watch scale
 model Airplanes in flight.






A scale model P-47 Thunderbolt
gets ready to take off.




Owners walk off the field
with their planes after
their flights.





This small plane is very agile
& does many aerial stunts.





A scale model 1930s Airplane





This electric plane was
built for stunts...




Its owner can make it
hover...




... at different angles.
















I am amazed by...






... what this Airplane
can do.





This plane soars high...





Flying upside down...





Positioning for another stunt...



Eric and I enjoyed watching model Airplanes soar in the desert skies.
