On Saturday March 21, the tarmac outside the Pacific Aviation Museum was anything but quiet and peaceful. At 7:00 AM, with the arrival of 25 Bird of Paradise pilots and their 36 remote control model airplanes, old Luke Field again came to life as a place for aviation fun. The retired Grumman F-14 Tomcat took its place at the end of the parking lot. Restored military vehicles lined the tarmac. Food vendors, membership tents, and display sets were in place by 10 AM and standing ready for the grand opening, color guard and Star Spangled Banner. Nearly 1000 visitors watched airplane after airplane take to the sky.
