Darrell Watts of Shawnee, Kansas, brought this incredible Fokker E III. A photo of Darrell's Fokker was also selected to appear on page 5 of the July 24th edition of the Sunday News Tribune, click here or on the photo below to see how it appeared.

Now that Darrell knows what our site looks like, next year he said he'll really bring some nice stuff! Can't wait to see what he brings!

One of my favorite photos of the event is the one on the left of Darrell's Fokker. Spectators watching, photographing, and yawning. John Dussold's Big Stick on a take-off run across the water.

The same Seamasters flying, taking off.

In addition to all the work he performed, most of Rick Poire's family joined in to watch him fly. Ron Horn's beautiful Sea Dancer on the stand and one of the times it got stranded.

Roger Geller and Tom Gillmore on a mission to recover Ron Horn's Sea Dancer. Also a photo of Chris Bogg & Chris Wilson doing the same. Stacy Gillmore at right explains how the floats operate to some friends.

Stacy Gillmore's Alpha on floats as it makes a low pass. Plus Dan Jacquin of Collegian Dogs and the hot dog stand that kept us fed. We are so glad that he was able to join us.

This very handsome seaplane is reportedly a converted Sig Kadet Senior very nicely disguised. One of the nicest looking and flying planes at the event.

More of the converted Kadet Seaplane and some enthusiastic young spectators fascinated by all of the boats and planes.

Beautifully built-up balsa models and transparent covering make for some of the nicest looking R/C planes ever made and with the addition of floats, the beauty of these pictures snapped by Stacy Gillmore speak for themselves.

Very nice seaplane touching down, plus some of the very unique aerial photos that were provided by Stacy Gillmore and his modified Slow Stick that is camera-equipped. Nice job Stacy!

More wonderful aerial views of the event and Binder Lake.

After Stacy finished taking the aerial photos, he changed his very versatile Slow Stick into a Flying Boat and hit the roughest waters it has encountered yet and did great!
