Ted Clark & Geren Mortensen open Show
|
The 2011 annual MARKS Club RC Air Show was held at MARKS Field on Sunday,
September 25th. The show is the highlight of the Club's yearly activates. It was designed to provide an afternoon of good family
fun and entertainment, for our
spectators. It also gives the club members a chance to show off their airplanes and
flying skills. Food and refreshments were made available by Flannery's catering
which is always a hit with both spectators and club members.
Flying demonstrations featured all types of RC airplanes, helicopters and a few
crashes. Again this year, the most popular airplane demonstration was Dennis Blades jet
turbine which wowed the crowd. Dennis is from a neighboring RC club in Seaford,
DE.
For the spectators and especially for the kids, the club provided prizes
throughout the afternoon and a candy drop from two airplanes. At the
conclusion of the show spectators were given a chance to try RC flying with a
club member on a buddy Box. This gives individuals an opportunity to see if they
might like to get involved with the sport. The club also conducted a 50/50 drawing which was
won by Less Ervin.
The club enjoyed providing this exhibition for the public and
looks forward to seeing everyone again at the 2012 show.
