Scenes from the 1967 Nats

There’s just under 5 weeks until the 50th Anniversary of the 1967 National Model Airplane Championships, which were held July 24-30 at the Naval Air Station in Los Alamitos, CA.  We’re going to share some official U.S. Navy photographs pictures each week, until the last week of July when we’ll share a picture a day.

Learn more about the 1967 Nats in the July 2017 issue of Model Aviation.
