Jeff Arsenault, our guest from episode 99, sent us a note with a photo we wouldn’t believe without seeing! Jeff said:
Hi Guys,
I thought I’d share something you haven’t seen before.
If I live to be a 100 I won’t see anything crazier than this. The Rhode Island Aeromodelers had a 2-day fun fly/camp out last weekend in celebration of National Model Aviation Day A bunch of us camped out at the field and had a steak fry that evening. This was followed with a pancake breakfast the following morning. After breakfast one of the members was cleaning up and broke down his 10′ x 10′ tent. He moved it out to the middle of our parking lot to dry out in the sun. We had a crazy burst of wind blow through the area around 10:30 on an otherwise calm morning. Airplanes were scattered everywhere. The wind somehow inflated the tent and it got caught in an updraft. It easily rose to 150′, flew over a densely wooded area and was never to be seen again. The UFO looking thing in the photo is a 10′ tent.
The guy that lost the tent fully admits it’s the best $200 story he’ll ever tell!
Hope you enjoy and are having a good summer. Glad the show is back!
Jeff ArsenaultÂ
