Nats News

Spectacular. Stupendous. Perfect. Wednesday’s weather at the Nats was that good, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed.

Monday was the first day of official flying at the centennial Free Flight (FF) Nats. It’s hard to believe that 100 years have passed since the very first NAA Nationals, which predated the existence of the AMA by a full 13 years. Back in 1924, model aircraft competition was still a very new concept, often held at full-scale air shows and air races.

A fantastic eight days of Combat wrapped up with 1/2A and Fast Combat being flown on Friday.

Today is the day that we have been waiting for all week—we got to see who won the 2023 Nationals.
