Joe Nall 2024

Another Joe Nall in the books. 2024 turned out to be even bigger than last year! With over 1300 pilots registered, we had a week of fun with airplanes and friends.

This year the whole RC Plane Lab group made the trek! Ron and Tom were joined by Dave, Daniel, and Reggie. Below is a bunch of photos from this year’s Joe Nall event. If you haven’t had a chance to make it, put this on your list of things to do next year!
