RC Meet. Don't know how I missed this before but pretty impressive stuff.

the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Sorry...misread that as RC meat. Thought it was a documentary about what lions ate at the Coliseum.

Impressive stuff alright. How big and heavy do they have to be before they’re classified as aircraft in their own right?

You don't prang one of those. VC10 at 5:24 seen. Didn't know there was one. Why oh why did they build a grubby old tanker why not the shiny 10 colour scheme.

Staggeringly beautiful, all of them.

There I was , thinking wouldn't it be great if the Reds could smoke.......................

There I was, thinking wouldn't it be great if the 10 could stream the hoses when............ Shame about the starboard HDU failure. Quite magnificent, and a terrific landing. (First 10 video had my heart in my mouth!)

A couple of decades ago I attended a large RC meet - my favourite was a ten foot span Lancaster.
