Newcastle Airport is a hive of activity, as a plane races down the runway, before taking to the skies and soaring through the heavens.

However, this is no ordinary plane. The pilot is still at the airport, his feet firmly on the ground, watching his plane, controlling its every move. Behind him, a few men work on their planes, making last-minute adjustments before sending their planes off into the Newcastle skyline.

Aviation fans were in for a treat this past weekend, as Newcastle Model Aircraft Club hosted the March 2020 Fly-In of the Rand Model Aircraft Club.

The annual event saw local model aircraft enthusiasts enjoy a weekend of model aircraft flying with the visiting Rand Model Aircraft Club.

With 12 visiting model aircraft enthusiasts visiting Newcastle, the event proved to be an entertaining one, bringing the Newcastle Airport to life.
