Part of the takeoff line-up, front to back:  Mikes Playboy, Aric's Viking, Greg's Dallaire. The wind was light enough to leave the planes unattended on the runway while waiting for takeoff.

Chip's Airborn, a former Speed 400 Season Champion, returns after  four years and some repairs

Aric's 1/2 A Viking takes off...

...and climbs out in an unusual attitude

Jay's Playboy floats in for a landing. You have to cheer for the color scheme.

Jay's Playboy climbs out displaying his new crash absorbing motor mount. More on this as the concept develops.

 John Trumbull's Trenton Terror, a long term survivor at SAM 27's field

   Andrew's Terror hangs in the air to squeeze a few extra seconds before touchdown

Loren's Viking in his favorite color scheme. There were four 1/2 A (Speed 400) sized planes at the meet.
  
Chip's repaired 1/2 A Airborn looks huge
