Joe Nall - Woodruff, SC (Friday)

On our last day at Joe Nall we hit the vendor booths. Anthony had his choice of many airplanes and picked the white and red flame one! The next morning we headed out early because of the heavy rains. We had a great time and look forward to going back next year.
Noon time demos include shows with jets, large scale model airplanes, and the full scale pilots flying in the real deal full scale airplanes. It's always exciting to observe such talent and bravery!
Lunch time! Those little feet are so cute!"R/C Wives We Live So They Can Fly"
Feeding the masses at the Friday night BBQ...The volunteers at Joe Nall do a terrific job serving hundreds of people in a matter of minutes (about 30 minutes). The volunteers and tables are well organized to get the people through quickly. The food and fellowship with friends were both great!

Joe Nall - Woodruff, SC (Thurs)

Water hobbies (boats and airplanes with floats) are a highlight of Joe Nall. Our good friends, Primo, Pedro, Jacob, and Lucy, had their tent set up by the lake.
Once the sun disappeared behind the horizon, the night flying began. Some of the vendors saw Thomas flying earlier in the evening (pictured above) and tracked him down to give him free lights for his float plane just to demo the lights. They liked his flight before. He hovers really well and has a nice flight pattern...in other words...a real show off!

More Joe Nall - Woodruff, SC

Today Anthony and Mommy went to Great Clips for Anthony to get a haircut. The hair dresser let him squirt all the water out of her spray bottle so it was more like a water park than a hair salon! He got a Super Star sticker for being so good.
Back at Joe Nall the campers were really rolling in for the weekend.
Fun with Daddy
Hot dogs are the best! Anthony ate the whole thing!At the noon day demo, the full scale airplanes displayed a spectacular show!
Joe Nall (Triple Tree) mascot! Kitty kept the hanger guests entertained.
"My dad's the BEST! He bought me an ice cream, sugar cone and all!" "Just my size! I know this thing will fly! I've seen Daddy make it go!"
There was a challenge to see how many of the same type airplanes could fly at once. There were hundreds. Check out the video below!
