Baldwin Jet Rally Fathers Day Weekend

If you did not know, Baldwin airport has a wonderful field to fly on. I believe the official club started a few years ago. They have a 3,500ft runway with a lot of jet pilots. This past weekend they held an event with many pilots. It was a great time. Here is just a small clip of some of the jets.
