Places to Fly during Memorial Day Weekend: Castle Airport Giant Scale R.C. Fly In

Every year, Castle Airport hosts a Radio Control Giant Scale fly in. This is a great opportunity to see LARGE radio control airplanes.

There generally will be a couple of World War II bombers and lots of World War II fighters, many with wingspans of 100” or more. This event will also have model jets with real turbine engines, aerobatic aircraft with wing spans up to 1/3 scale of the full size aircraft, along with other interesting model aircraft. Fly to Castle Airport on Places to Fly during Memorial Day Weekend: Castle Airport Giant Scale R.C. Fly In Saturday, May 27, tell the tower that you want to park by the models, and then follow the “follow me” car. You will be able to park within 100’ of the models. The pit area for the models will be over a ¼ mile long. Many food vendors are available for lunch. This is a HUGE event for the modelers, many coming from all over the West Coast. I will be there and hope to see you.
