Father and son John and Ken Liddard were guests at the field on Tuesday.  Rick MacDonald has been buddy boxing 75 year old Ken at the HEFA site and tuesday did the same thing at our field for much of the day.

Ken is an avid model builder and lucky son John gets to fly all this stuff. 

in photo three son John uses his fpv goggles to follow his father's flight.  unfortunately shortly after this photo was made the canopy on the bixler which carried the camera came off and dropped into the underbrush off our field.  it's still there.

this is their bixler 3, not the same one that lost the camera equipped canopy.  the canopy on this one is very similar though.

note the almost collision with the dragonfly on launch.  lol

---

Also in their fleet is this foamboard ducted fan Viggen (super flyer), launched here by rick, and this sky mule twin.

---

Rick was seen flying his big extra.

---

also out on Tuesday were kyle and zach, flying up a storm on kyle's new splendor.  super airplane that one!  Both boys took turns flying it.

Rick giving Ken some buddy box time.  gotta love that wireless buddy box system.
