This event was such a good time! Which was your favorite jet from the video?? I bet you could guess mine... 😂 Unfortunately I was unable to get the B-58 flown before the event for a few reasons. More on that in another video! 😉

That’s the goal for this week. Looks like I may need to change out some axles too as it looks like one of the main gear axles is bent, but I won’t know until I take it all apart.

The F15 was incredible and the 8 point roll from the Mig pilot was very impressive.

Hats off to the camera crew!

The Super Sabre was such a sexy, classic looking fighter.

Enjoyed the F-15 representing the 32nd TFS, Soesterberg, the Netherlands

Enjoyed meeting you and Brian and his dad! Enjoyed sharing the tent really fun and great conversation. I’m partial to your A-7 Corsair very impressive and fast. Loved the BIG F-15 which was also very impressive. Of course your B-58 was the most unique jet there and can’t wait for you to get to fly it. Great video of the event and really showed the variety of aircraft and the continuous flying that went on. I was really impressed with Iron Man Dave Kalwalsky and his wife for their 100 flights in three days!

Loved this! Mikes ya f15 is sooo sick. And jim's f100 is just stunning in person. Was great to see Bret have sucess with the lil firebird..and kevin Cox is the man for the d558 phase 1!!! So many cool planes. A7 was rippin dude!

Absolute magic Chris! Seriously, I really enjoyed watching this one, such fantastic models! Especially liked the DC-10 (I know, I like the weird ones...), and the Douglas Skyrocket was super cool as well. Looks like you got to see Jim Case's super nice F-100 Super Sabre; did he bring the SEA version as well? At any rate, they are nice models for sure. Glad to see you enjoying the "East of the Mississippi" Fly-ins and I look forward to more of your coverage. Hope all is well, Cheers!

Sweet demos! Looks really fun if we were doing all that in real aircraft, which I was fortunate enough to do a few times in the T38 Talon and the F16 Falcon.

Unfortunately it hasn’t flown yet. We tried before the event but landing gear and tire issues kept it from getting off the ground. I’m working on fixing that all now so should fly soon hopefully.

That F86 was agile, the Corsair II was fast as hell! I like the eagle too, but where was the B58?

It was there, but The first B-58 flight attempt was unsuccessful and was unable to fly it at the event. There are a few bugs to work out with the landing gear and wheels, so working that out and then will try again. I’m putting together a vid from the day as it’s all part of the journey, though I do wish it went a little differently.

Yeah, was having tire problems that resulted in them acting like brakes. So, couldn’t get up to flying speed. I’m working on replacing all of the tires and also looking at a larger axle too.

So, let me get this straight. The F-15 was intended to be a turbine powered plane (perhaps Skymaster?), but the builder put a pair of 90-105mm EDFs on 6-12s in it?

That is a model I have been building on the channel (this is the playlist bit.ly/RCB58Build). It’s one of only about 5 in existence and was tooled up by a good friend of mine. I’m hoping to get it flown here soon. I wasn’t able to get it flown before the event due to some teething problems with the landing gear and wheels when trying to fly it before the event.

Hi there Chris! Great and unbeliviable job with the B-58! I salute YOU. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will see one great air show right here over my home town TURKU, FINLAND. B-1B Lancers, USAF. F-35, RAF. F/A-18s (Finland and Switzerland). F-16s (Belgium and The Netherlands) and lots of it and everything...ha-haa. We have also seen Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Patrouille de France and some other Butt-Monkeys here during the years... Oh yes, right here at my home town; TURKU, FINLAND. Oh, btw. at the same time the largest passenger cruiser ever "Icon of the Seas" is being built here at my home town, TURKU, FINLAND. And during this weekend it is being tested at the sea... Anyway; I would like to build an A-7, my favourite... Perhaps you could help me? Take care Chris.

Don't show me the B-58 then not include it in the flying.

Trust me, no wants to see it fly more than me. But sometimes on a new, mostly unproven model things don’t go as planned. I tried on the way to the event to maiden it and was unsuccessful due to some issues with the landing gear and wheels (was mentioned in the vid description). Im in the process of fixing it and will try again soon. It happens and this one is pretty complex, so need to take the time to make sure everything is right before trying again.
