Fellow Enthusiast,
Are you looking for a place to fly your WW1 airplanes?
Apparently early bird and WWI enthusiasts are allotted in quantities of 2 or
3
persons per club .... or
so it seems. Wouldn't it be great to get together a couple of
times a year and savor a whole model airfield full of fabric covered wings,
flying wires and round engines! Early birds and the "Dawn
Patrol" flying scale models in exactly
the way the designers had intended. "
Mission Oriented Flying" at its best. Those magnificent
men and their flying machines! Can you imagine all of that? What
a picture! It could happen, and it is within our grasp!
The goal of R/C Dawn
Patrol is to organize the interest in Vintage and WW1 aircraft and Mission
Oriented Flying.
We have developed a network of contacts in our region. A
Dawn Patrol Fly-In was conducted at the
Hamilton
County, IN flying field
in September of 2004, and again in 2005,
where it officially became know as the "Hoosier Dawn
Patrol".
The event for 2006 was held at the National Flying Site in Muncie, IN. We
hope to attend as many WW1 and Vintage Fly-Ins as we
can, and we hope to (thru this web site), help promote other WW1 and Vintage
fly-ins from Coast to Coast.
We are not a club.
We do not have dues or regularly scheduled meetings, other than
getting together to fly, or meeting at each others work shops occasionally.
We hope to keep this
endeavor simple, laid back and fun, more of a Grass Roots (or should that
be Grass Field?) movement
