2024 Bong Eagles Oldtimer Contest Pictures- July 13

Weather was flyable, but a bit hot. Wind was mostly from the South, at roughly 6-10 mph. Max was reduced to 90 seconds to suit the conditions. Nine pilots flew in Events ranging from Old Time Stick and Cabin to AMA P-30, FAC Embryo, and Rubber Scale. Launching at nearly 1000 feet south of the central parking area kept the smaller planes on the field. Results and a further Summary by the Contest Director are available at
