The Scott Thompson Annual Night Fly will be September 14, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.

This is where pilots from all around join us in the evening with airplanes lit up with LED lighting, and we fly after the sun sets. It’s a lot of fun, and we always have good participation, but we’d like to expand on it. So, if you’re an AMA member and want to join us for some night flying, then the annual Scott Thompson Night Fly hosted by SBRC is the event for you.

We hold six races throughout the summer at the South Bend RC Club Field.

We race two and sometimes three airplanes at one time, and it can get a bit heated when a couple of pilots get into the groove, as there is always the potential for mid-air collisions and crashes. Please join us if you’re interested in watching, have questions, or want to race, as we’re always looking for new race pilots, and you don’t have to be an SBRC member to participate in the fun of introductory level pylon racing.

After the race, the field goes back to open flying, and if you’re an AMA member, you’re welcome to stay and fly with us as our guest.

All races start at 9:30 am with a safety meeting at 9:15 am
