Saturday, 10/6/18, found the Golden Eagles RC Club putting on a show at the EAA Fly-in event. Hundreds (thousands?) of locals came out to the Kingman Airport to enjoy the many full-scale aircraft on display… and the Golden Eagles had their display booth set up right by the entrance gate… so everyone attending the show saw us first-thing as they entered the grounds!  MANY Eagles were on-hand to chat-up the visitors… wonderful public exposure for our club!

Eagles and the visitors... plenty of visitors!

I tried to photograph the cloud of black smoke I expected to see as the engine started... but... not much more than a small puff of gray smoke was ejected!
