YUP! In those days I still lived in Cleveland, Ohio and one of the local radio stations would put on concerts in the Cleveland Stadium called the "World Series of Rock" and my high school sweetheart (who later became my wife of 45 yrs) would go and camp out on the infield for the weekend and...

Hey Snerd Great choice of music. love Alice,Alvin and all the other late 60'S early 70's band. Sad day today, Glenn Fry passed away. Loved the Eagles and saw them many times in concert.

I am using an MJX X101 as a trainer. It is lightweight so when it crashes, nothing happens to it. It also has camera capabilities, but I have not installed it on the air craft yet. I am more interested in learning to fly it first. It is a cheap alternative as a trainer at $52.00 on Amazon...
