The Byron Originals Striking Back got really good in the early 90's just before they quit doing the shows. They added a lot more explosions and planes. It was really awesome. I wish they still had the shows, it was a past time for me when I was younger.

@marvinf14 Don't get me wrong, I never said it was as good as Striking Back, I know it was awesome, but Warbirds Over the Rockies has the best Pilots from around the world with the awards to proove it and it's probably the only show with 100's of rounds of live explosives. Just the best option for today's pilots, thats all.

Check out Warbirds Over the Rockies! They do this in Colorado now every year! They even break the sound barrier!

Oh and a live full-scale airshow at the end of the day. Oh, and tours of the factory so you could see how the Byron kits were manufactured. - Chris' Cakes in the morning being thrown at you to catch - gotta be awake.

It really was amazing, all the flying aircraft were 1/5 scale; Zeros, P-51's, and Corsairs. I think the boats were a smaller scale. There was a tank that was like 1/4 scale and was mechanized with a human driver inside it. The year I was there (1990?) there was a Zero which caught fire in the air and crashed outside the fly-over area. The expo is sorely missed and was just Superb!!! Oh, did I mention that nearly every R/C manufacturer was there with a booth and offered discounts (10-30%)

Action packed for a model presentation.
