Warbirds Over The Rockies 2016

The Warbirds Over the Rockies 2016 event was superb as always.  We had nice weather and great flying although there were still a few mishaps unfortunately.  Here are some of the highlights including the two 1/4 scale F-104 models that were new this year:

Standley Lake Float Fly October 4, 2015

The Fall 2015 float fly at Standley Lake was a bit chilly, but still fun. The club-sponsored float fly raised about $300 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation that raises money for childhood cancer research.

Standley Lake Float Fly April 25, 2015

The spring float fly at Standley Lake.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great event!  The club-sponsored float fly raised nearly $500 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation that raises money for childhood cancer research.  Thanks to the 33 pilots with dozens of aircraft of various sizes and types, the many spectators, and the Standley Lake Park staff and rangers who helped with the event.

Frozen Finger Fun Fly 2015

Keeping true to AAM tradition, we kicked off the new year with our Frozen Finger Fun Fly.  This year we had gorgeous weather and loads of snow on the ground which meant landing gear wouldn’t work.  Several spectators showed up to watch the eleven contestants fly three timed events.  Once the points were added, Joe Pirozzoli took first place in the Expert Class while Dave Jones took first in the Novice Class.  Thankfully the worst incurred damage was a broken prop.

Stay safe and enjoy this year!
