In November 2008 we had many cloudy days and the Humber Hawks had postponed their Onslaught combat mission for a few weekends but finally on November 23 rd. a Sunny day was forecast so the pilots converge on the Cobble Hills Flight Park for a sunny fantastic day of combat flying. There was about ten inches of snow on the field so Al the owner used his mammoth snow blower and cleared a runway. Soon WW I pilots were in the air and having a great time. I was only there until noon so I missed the WW II event but I did get some great video of the WW I action so Click the link below and get a preview of the action. I also have a 16 minute DVD movie full of exciting action that I am sure you will enjoy and the cost is only $9.95 plus $2.00 shipping so just e-mail me for a copy at - caskydog@gmail.com or click the buy now to pay by a credit card

Lots of fun and the Humber Hawks made a clean sweep with their magnificent Albatrosses.

What's The Story

Worst Midair ------- Boss Hog and Ice Man wiped each other out in the last round with 8 aircraft up at once.

At 15 degrees below Zero we found that even the usually durable corro sometimes shatters under severe abuse .

Johnny Holmes Albatross (center) --escaped with minor damage to wing covering .

Best Midair is best described by Second Place winner "Bent Gary " of the Humber Valley Hawks .

(roughly translated from email)

An extremely bizarre midair occurred between Jeff Decalwe's SE5A and Bent Gary's DVII. We basically turned in to each other trying to get back upwind and there was a loud crunch. The models remained connected and entered a flat spin. The SE5A's prop and landing gear sliced into the Fokker's left wings, chopping off the aileron, outboard strut and a piece of the lower wing. Just before impact with the ground, the models separated cleanly. The SE5 went in hard and the DVII entered a steep turn. Gary instinctively slammed the throttle wide open... full right aileron... full up elevator. I couldn't believe the engine was still running and the airplane controllable. The DVII made it back to the field safely and after some hasty repairs in the clubhouse, flew in the next round.

However -- most of the planes (not shown) went home in one piece !
