RMS held its Members' Day and Night of Fun & Food on Saturday 26 September 09. One of the FF activities was the Balloons Bursting activity. Five thin bamboo poles of the same height with inflated balloons at the ends were spaced out in a line across the runway. Participants were required to fly their aircraft to burst the balloons. Each participant had five attempts. The champion was the pilot who burst the most balloons. Here are several photographs of the attempts.

Although the activity is not a new one, the purpose of conducting it is to promote enjoyment. One can practise many times on a simulator and succeeds in getting a high score but the feeling of satisfaction is never similar to that in an actual situation. One wrong judgement can lead to damage to the plane and shows a lack of skills in low level and low speed flying.
