Press Release: 2019 RFL Team Sunbeamer Air Show

Your welcome to the 6th annual 2019 Sunbeamers RFL Air Show and Fly In on Saturday April 13th from 8 AM to 4 PM SLT.

Included in the event is an Airship Steeple Chase. For a donation of 100L, or what you feel like giving, you enter and are given for free a bicycle blimp you pedal through a series of jumps above the ground. The fastest time at the end of the day wins 500L and a cheap trophy. We will be providing a pedal power balloon for the contest so all are equal. For those who wish to pilot their own airship may do so but will not be in the contest, it will be just for the fun of it.

There are more events for any donations around the field. One such is dunking your partner or other victim in a nice cool dunk tank, that is instead of a beanbag you fire a German 88mm shell into its target!!, Then there is being shot out of a cannon straight up to the moon where a provided special RFL 2019 textured parachute for free gently brings you back down.

In addition to the cannon bring your new tested parachute along to a parachute jump from an airplane from 2000 meters at scheduled times.

There will be planes on display with information about them. Some Pilots will be on hand to give rides and flight demonstrations or you can just BYOAP [Bring Your Own Airplane] and stunt around yourself.

Scenes From The Sunbeamer Air Show

One of the first things most new residents learn in Second Life learn is how to fly. But not everybody wants to "Superman" around. And there are those with a love of airplanes. So for those wanting to fly around in style, the annual air show at Farshore Field allowed for some aerial antics, as well as other activities. As the show is held in support of the Relay for Life's Sunbeamer team, it's considered a key event that brings in a great deal of donations. And once again, this year the show put the Sunbeamers into a record level of fundraising.

The result was a couple hours of kissing booth and dunk tank action, fun poses, and general jokes and funnery.The Newser was there, and got a number of pictures.

Dunk the Emperor

On Saturday, DrFran Babcock attended a Relay For Life event with a twist. Ultralite Soliel, the creator and 'Emperor' of the Tiny Empires game, volunteered to be among those in the dunk  tank. And so, people took turns tossing balls to hit the target and send the imperial figure into the drink, eventually getting him to change his clothes into something else.

Sundreamers at New Bastogne

One's a community who's goals are having a fun place to virtually live and have a good party a few times a week. The other's a virtual Second World War battlefield where residents duke it out in virtual tanks, planes, and small arms in team efforts. One might not expect the two to have much in common. But last weekend, they came together for a Relay For Life event. The Sunweaver community's "Sundreamers" RFL team hosted a fundraising event at New Bastogne.
