Our Big Bird event is IMAA Sanctioned and open to any airplane with a minimum of 80" wingspan ( 60" for Biplanes). There is no limit on the size of the owner the airplanes.
Norm Bryson explaining that we don't supply rain gear or snowshoes.
Old friends, new friends ,good food and a lot of fun
Definitely a non competitive environment
Scroll down for the photos and click on the thumbs for larger pictures. I apologize to those participants whose photos do not appear. We are learning as time goes on. The 2001 Big Bird promises to be bigger and better with more detailed photos and descriptions of the participating aircraft.
