Some of the best flying action at the FAC Nats happens during the 3 evenings in Geneseo, NY, where the sky is beautiful, and typically calm. This year, in July of '24, was terrific once more. Filmed by Tom Hallman, Charlie Sauter, & Jason McGuire. Music: "Young Summer" & "Seven Years" by Josh Leake via artist.io.

Oh, to have been there. Just sublime. Thanks Tom. Noel

Late day free-flight is always magical, especially in Geneseo, where it appears to be held in a dome of sorts, bringing calm to the field for the final 3 hours of light.More often than not, even if the day had been windy. We can fly past 9:30. Incredible.

There is no greater joy in modeling than free flight, especially rubber.

@mitchilito99 13 дней назад

Tom's videos, for me, are the antidote for the stresses of life. Just a wonderful moment to reflect. . . .

@Atomikoira 13 дней назад

Those brief moments of free flight, the wonder of flying, hand made feathers, gliding cross the calm sky, make you smile, make you happy.

@garygullikson6349 14 дней назад

It's nice to see these well trimmed models flying like airplanes instead of porpoises.

@williamrobinson7435 13 дней назад

Everything I see of The Nats, indeed and especially The Flying Aces impresses on me a deep sense of cooperation and shared experience. It seems as though the competitive aspect of things is entirely subordinate to the shared joy of flight.. Indeed this is much more like a display than part of a contest, which I think is key to the unparalleled high standard we see from you guys converging on New York. These are all beautiful, I'm glad to see that blue racer with the long nose on the screen, v beautiful plane. Thank you Tom, and many thanks to all concerned! 🌟👍

The flying boat is spectacular! Electric is such a game changer for planes like that. Unfortunate that it sounds like a bunch of angry hornets. EDF in a jet is great but it's just the wrong sound for a multi-engine radial ship. Otherwise great video as usual Tom thanks for sharing! (edit - I spoke too soon I think the Mosquito is my favorite in this video!)

You know what I"d do... I'd contact a local Warbird owner..P51, corsair, etc, and ask him to do a flyby while you and your buddys are out there ! And don't tell them.

@ratride1 13 дней назад

There was a P-40, American Dream that was finishing up testing on Thursday. He took off on Friday morning. I helped him put the cowling back on the plane. Some of the participants went out to the flight line to watch him take off.
