Winter Warbird 2020 We have completed our 8
th Winter Warbird event. I believe this is the best one to date. There
was lots of everything but stress. Pilots started coming in on Wednesday for an event that start-ed on Friday. We had 35 pilots by Thursday and they flew peacefully with club members all day. By the end of the weekend we had 80 pilots from 7 states that were able to fly in perfect weather, no wind and 70-75 degrees. Flight line was busy with a full 5 planes in the air consistently on Friday and Saturday. One thing we have always done differently, we don’t shut down the flight line for anything none emer-gency or pilots meeting. This was the busiest I remember; it went smooth because of the hard work of Kenny Rhoads. It would have been a nightmare without you. Vin Diffabio and Keith Hoffman did some fill in duty. It also helped that the pilots are experienced and know how to communicate with each other. This makes my weekend a lot less stressful. We had the support of many to help us pull of this event. Our Sponsors for the event were De-sert Aircraft, Horizon Hobby, BVM Jets, John Gerhardt, Joe Nelson of RCGF, Aeroworld RC, House of Balsa/Zap, BadboyzRC, Smart-Fly with product. Fuller Petroleum, Warbirds Over the Rockies, Sam Wright/Acrostar Enterprises and Don Corum were Trophy Sponsors. Mike Dolan/ Vistacom Sponsored the Taco Bar feast on Friday night. My thanks go to all of them for what they did to help. We did something different this year that turned out well. We brought in MF Koffee to bring their mobile coffee/smoothie trailer, and When Pigs Fly OTG sandwich truck. Both companies served amazing product that everyone enjoyed, beat the hell out of Hot Dogs. The last piece of the puzzle is Sun Valley Flier members. Without the continued support of our club members this would never happen. I believe I counted 32 people that volunteered at this year’s event. Most of them have helped since beginning 8 years ago. Not one person has not shown up for gate duty. You guys are constantly dumping trash and cleaning up without being asked to do so. I think this year is the first time I have been satisfied with the entire event. But we needed one more Porta John and a wash station. The final expenses aren’t done yet, but I can say that the club made good money at the event. Frank Moskowitz, George Metro, Randy Morgan, Nate D’Anna, Jeff Buck, Gene Peterson, Wayne Robinson, Ron Anderson, Ron Stark, Norm Pilcher, Ron Petteric, Wayne Layne, Bill Mead, Dennis lamb, Terry Bohl, Robert Poe, Rick Paquin, Val Roqueni, Howard Kennedy, Paul Brown, Steve Peterson, Mike Neihaus all on gate duty John Geyer at Registration. Ken Rhoads, Vin Diffabio, and Keith Hoffman ran the flight line with-out complaints. Charlie Beverson, Nate D’Anna selling raffle tickets. Frank Moskowitz, Mike Taylor, Charlie Beverson serving subway on Friday. I’m sure I missed someone. We thank you all, Tony and Lou

Spectator Mike Bennet sent these in. Glad you enjoyed the event Mike
Greetings to All Thank you Tony Quist, Lew Pfiefer, and all of the volunteers that made Winter Warbirds a huge success. Every pilot, visitor, and spectator that I have spoken with said it was the very best show. Members, we looked great! We had pilots and friends from all over the southwest and they did enjoy being at Sun Valley Fliers! Having been the safety officer for the One Eighth Air Force for about the last 20 years I would encourage all of our members to have SAFETY as your primary goal and on your mind at all times. Bad things happen even when you are obeying the rules and guide lines. They happen even to the safest of pilots and crews. In the blink of an eye tragedy can strike. Have you been to the field and ignored some trash laying around or a full trash can. Have you seen something you could fix but decided to "let some one else worry about it"? How about one of our pilots needing some help? Please members help out. We are all part of the same club and we should all have the welfare of our club and field in mind! Please help out. Thanks for allowing me to be part of the best RC Club in America. SUN VALLEY FLIERS! Yeah baby!
Ken Rhoads.
