EDF Jet Rally - July 7 2024

by Wilf Hill
The second annual KRCM EDF Jet Rally held July 7, 2024 is officially in the books. Although originally scheduled for Saturday, July 6, due to predictions of high winds was rescheduled for the following day. The skies were partially overcast which helped keep the July sun from baking the 20 registered pilots and their families and guests. To everyone’s relief, the winds were very light but variable, but didn’t bother the jets or their pilots. Through out the day, the sky was constantly filled with the scream of high speed electric ducted fans as the pilots flew the 42 aircraft present.  As usual at our events, Peter,s canteen was a huge hit at lunch time. During the lunch break, a draw was made for the GWS A-10 warthog donated by Con and a 50/50 draw was also made.  In its second year, the event has grown considerably and next year we may consider making it a full weekend. Hope to see you all there next year for another successful KRCM EDF Jet Rally.

Wilfred Hill 
EDF jet rally coordinator
The event itself was a great success with 20 registered of which 14 were jet flyers with a total of 23 jet planes. A rough count showed over 50 flyers and spectators were in attendance. A verbal survey showed that the participants would like us to do this again in the future.
I would like to personally thank the following people; Rene Lebrun for taking the lead as safety coordinator, Merrill Baker for running the registration, and Peter Hoefler for graciously running the canteen. I would also like to thank Joan Hill, Nathalie Lebrun and Bruce Pardo for assisting Peter with the canteen, and Bill Hiemstra and his crew for the great job they did on the field.

Rhinebeck North 2020

In spite of windy weather, KRCM held its second annual Rhinebeck North funfly on the 11th and 12th of September.  As seen in the photo above, there was a good turnout of scale World War 1 aircraft.

Martin Irvine won the pilots choice award and Chris Shaw won the mission event.

Many thanks to all of the volunteers who worked to make this event another success.
