The Condor Squadron in partnership with The Guardians hosted a Veterans Day BBQ to show our deep gratitude to local veterans for their service.  We were also very honored to induct special guest Buzz Aldrin into The Condor Squadron!

A heartfelt thanks to The Guardians for their contributions to the BBQ and on their mission.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our 4th annual fundraiser on Saturday April 20th, at the Airtel in Van Nuys, CA.

The Condors get called up...

When the Angels were told the military could not provide a fly over for opening day due to the current budget sequestration, they called upon the Condor Squadron to do the job. 

Dick Sykes would have been very proud of our performance.

The Bunny's Back in Town!

Another successful Easter at the Condor Squadron. 

We had prizes, toys, candy, airplanes, a helicopter, hot dogs, firetrucks, a visit from a Mustang and the Easter Bunny. 

What a day!!!

The Results are in! 

Never before, a tie for first and a tie for second.  Pilot Chris Rushing and bombadier Scott Carleton tied with pilot Rob Sandberg and bombadier Ed Conahan with 23 points each.  Both teams managed a hit worth 10 points + a hit worth 7 points + 2 skip-ins worth 3 points each.  In second place, pilot Carter Clark and bombadier Matt Fowle managed a 10 point hit and a skip-in, as did pilot Will Kalbermatter and his rookie bombadier Mazi Sarahang.  In fact, Will and Mazi hit direct center, but there are no additional points for a bulls eye. 

Perhaps we will see some rule changes for 2013!

Thanks to all those who participated and a special thanks to Mark King and the FAA for making this event possible.
