At the “Gathering of the Giants,” spectators can enjoy specialty foods from vendors. They can meet and talk with participating pilots—alongside their amazing flying creations. And one lucky person who takes part in the raffle drawing will be the winner of a replica aircraft. Paula Kings, a six-year club member, says the event atmosphere is “great people, awesome planes and the best model airfield in Florida!” With almost 5,000 spectators predicted to attend over the course of the two-day event, it features some of the most popular World War-era warbirds, stunt planes, single-wing planes, bi-planes, helicopters and modern-day jets. Most of the models are gasoline-powered or turbine-powered, and some are electrically powered. All of them have their fan favorites. And all of them have experienced operators showcasing their advanced flying skills—as their homemade replica aircraft soar through the sunny skies of Cape Coral.
