On Friday, August 19, several EAA staffers spent the afternoon immersed in RC models at Warbirds and Classics Over the Midwest, an annual event held at Wellnitz Field near Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Wellnitz Field features a putting-green smooth grass runway that’s 1,320 feet long and 280 feet wide, and is the home of the event’s hosts, the Fond du Lac Aeromodelers Association, an AMA-chartered club.
This was the 10th annual Warbirds and Classics show, an event that’s grown into a four-day affair featuring nearly 400 aircraft, 150 pilots, and as many as 3,000 spectators.
