NFFS

By Don DeLoach

Day one of the Indoor Nats was a reunion, firstly. Free Flight-minded friends and flying buddies gather every summer, this time at the Kibbie Dome in east central Idaho, for the annual convocation. This year, even a sizable contingent from Europe made the trip. No doubt several are eyeing the inaugural F1D and F1N FAI World Cup offered at this outsized Nats.

The 100th anniversary of the first Nats gets underway Monday, June 19, 2023, in Moscow, Idaho. The flying site is the stupendous 146-foot Kibbie Dome at the University of Idaho.

Rain, rain, go away …

Talk about changing weather conditions!

The Nats is an experience.

The Outdoor Free Flight Nationals (Nats) are back July 25-29 … for (can you believe it?) the 95th running.
