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
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.
