The Annual Monty Tyrrell rally was held on Sunday 22nd March & we ended up with a total of 45 aircraft flying. The temperature was nice, but the wind was not.
We had winds up to 40 km/h so it certainly made for a testing day particularly when it came time to land. However, we had plenty of game pilots & they put on a great show for the judges & crowd alike.
On the day we had lots of prizes
A few spills
And obviously the thrills (of winning!)
