[AlaskaRC] 49 Plane Flyover During National Anthem

[William Berson]

RC formation beyond about 300 feet away is almost impossible for just two, let alone 49.
I do RC formation often. Very hard to know if ahead or behind from 300 feet.
This was certainly RV, not RC.

These are all radio-controlled MODEL airplanes flying in perfect formation. No small feat! As you know the budget cuts have eliminated the military flyovers at large events. Well, there's a group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes and decided they'd volunteer to pick up the slack. They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48 guys with their homemade RC airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event. One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness. Be sure your speakers are turned up. best if watched at 'full screen'. “
