Terry Nitsch and the TORKS club held their Heart of Ohio EJets event this past weekend, Sept 19-21, in Columbus Ohio.
All were welcome -- everything from little foamies up to Bob Violet's huge twin EDF F-4 were there.
The weather was incredible, the field is amazing, the progress in EDF was startling.
I can't compliment the entire TORKS organization enough for their organisation, hospitality, and the incredibly smooth way they ran this event. I get to see many of these every year, and you guys are among the best!
Thanks again, looking forward to next year!
Here are some pictures that I took.
