Thomas G "Drone wars" is a new sport. Two teams participate, the first team to pop all their balloons and land back on the runway wins.  ;)

Odds and sods?

Peter,
I just did not hear about it before.

Both shots are to the point. I see what fun it must be to participate in the competition.

As a new member, I'm loving the discovery of threads like this.  You guys rock.

Extra bonus points for those who can identify this aircraft type.

It is indeed, Mike.  Top marks!

It's "Columbine" Eisenhower's Air Force One.

Interesting sports, Peter.  The "team" should be called "squadrone".  :)
