Guests Take a Trip Back in Time at Biplanes & Triplanes WWI Air Show

By Mitchell Welch, Events Coordinator The Military Aviation Museum’s Biplanes and Triplanes World War One air show was held October 1-2, taking guests back to the days of The Great War for a weekend of flying, colorful World War One aircraft, live performances, elaborate reenactor encampments, and much more. “This year’s Biplanes and Triplanes show was all about immersing yourself in the days of The Great War. Between the beautifully painted World War One aircraft dancing through the sky, the military reenactor encampments, and the entertainers, patrons felt like they had taken a step back in time,” said Mike Potter, Director of the Military Aviation Museum. “It’s truly a rare opportunity to learn more about the brave men and women who risked the unknown and brought forth the dawn of aerial combat.” The weather held off both Saturday and Sunday, as guests wandered through reenactor encampments, checked out aviation memorabilia, and enjoyed afternoon flights featuring the Military Aviation Museum’s World War One aircraft. The 1920s- themed entertainers took to the Museum’s stage throughout the weekend, including The Manhattan Dolls, Theresa Eaman and the famous Charlie Chaplin. Be sure to mark your calendar now for next year’s show, October 7-8, 2017. This will be another CAN’T MISS event! q

Museum Hosts International Plastic Modelers Society Convention By Mitchell Welch

The International Plastic Modelers’ Society (IPMS) is comprised of a 5,000 member, all-volunteer organization, dedicated to promoting the modeling hobby while providing a venue for modelers to share their skills in a social setting. The IPMS’s roots can be traced all the way to the first national branch being formed during the 1960’s in Great Britain. Throughout the year, the IPMS encourages friendly competition in the form of local, regional and national contests and conventions. There are currently 220 active US chapters (as well as chapters in Canada and the Philippines). These chapters are organized into 13 geographically-determined regions, which are overseen by regional coordinators. The IPMS Region 2 Convention, TIDEWATERCON16, was held in conjunction with the Military Aviation Museum’s Biplanes & Triplanes air show. The whole mezzanine area of the museum was filled to capacity with modelers and vendors alike. The theme of the convention was “The First 50 Years of Aviation” and the winner of the Theme Award earned a free ride in a 1941 Stearman . It was a great show with some very skilled hobbyists displaying numerous award winning models. q PAGE 6 VOLUME 9, ISSUE 4
