    Time again for the RVF's annual air show! Lots of great planes, helis, multi-rotors to look at on display and in the air. Fun for the whole family. Admission is free but a donation of canned food for the Josephine County Food Bank is appreciated. Seating is limited so plan on bringing your own chairs/blankets. Bottled water will be for sale throughout the day.

    Oops! At the Josephine Skypark in Kerby. Show starts @ 9am. Only AMA members can fly as this is a sanctioned event. If you're AMA and would like to fly I can have our event coordinator get in touch with you.

    Sorry W00d, I've been really busy. That bird is a twin-rotor gyro-copter. The rotor assembly mounts on top of the blue fuselage next to the Tower Hobbies Trainer in John's pic above. It belongs to the club and I had the privilege of taking her into the air for the crowd. Its longest flight so far is about 30-seconds. It has some minor hardware issues that we just haven't put the time in to figure them out. Nevertheless, its a fun craft to fly ;)
