A Big Fly-in is Planned for Little Planes
July 22, 2010
It's a big fly-in on a small yet giant scale. The Tulsa Glue Dobbers are holding their annual Heatwave in the Heartland event this weekend.
The fly-in features giant scale radio controlled airplanes. The club's Jack Rogers says they expect about 80 pilots, some from surrounding states, to make the trip to their field near 31st and Lynn Lane. He says they should have over 100 planes on hand and says this may be the biggest event of its type in the Southwestern United States.
Rogers says the event runs from Friday afternoon into Sunday and is free to the public. He says concessions will be available and there are even a few shady places to sit.
As for crashes, that's not their aim but Rogers says they are realistic. "We always say if you don't want to crash them don't build them or they all have an expiration date we just don't know when that's going to be."
