Having arrived in Denver a day earlier than we had planned, we had a chance to go shopping at the commissary at Buckley Air Force Base, see the planes at Wings Over the Rockies and explore Cherry Creek State Park in Aurora, CO.

The next three photographs were shot at the Model Radio Controlled Air Field in the park. The air field was built and is maintained by the Denver R/C Eagles.
