Blacksheep at the 2010 Hendricks County Fair, Sunday evening. Rain most of the day, then a break, we all made for the fair. Just as we got the pop ups up and a few planes out, out of now where, more rain. After several minutes it went away and left pleasant temps and clouds. We had 18 club members and many family members show up to display and fly. The crowd enjoyed the flying and display and we all enjoyed flying and fair food! The F-2's are great for events like this. We had tons of questions about these planes.
