Glorious day to take flight

EXCELLENT TURNOUT… The 38th annual Valley Radio Flyers Mammoth Scale Fly-In took place in Karramomus on the weekend, with over 80 planes taking to the sky. Photos: Allie James Photography.

LOCALS would have noticed the whirr and whizz of radio-operated planes overhead at Karramomus on the weekend.

More than 80 radio-controlled planes and their flyers flocked to the region on Saturday and Sunday to take part in the 38th annual Valley Radio Flyers Mammoth Scale Fly-In.

The event featured a range of radio-controlled planes taking to the air, including replicas of planes from both World Wars, as well as civil planes, jets and turbines.

The weather was absolutely glorious on the way, with clear blue skies perfect for a great day of aero modelling and camaraderie.

The Mammoth Scale Fly-In is Australia’s premiere giant scale aircraft show and is proudly hosted by the Valley Radio Flyers every year.

Thanks so much to Jacqui Thompson from Allie James Photography for supplying us with the photos.
