Sunday mayhem @ RC airfield park: Multiple mid-air collisions and missed landings-uncontrolled tower

The busiest RC park east of Mississippi. One of the few public remote control model car, boat, and aviation park in the US. People are sick of being confined and now out in full force with their RC models on Sunday

[@descent815]

You would think with all the money these guys put in these works of art the would also buy some landing skills!

[@BobbyTucker]

The touchdown at 17:33 was near picture perfect, my compliments to the pilot. Thanks for sharing.

[@cllaurit]

Lots of expensive planes flow by some questionable pilots

[@gordon7470]

Decathlon pilot should not be flying. Incompetent

[@brianscutt6298]

What's wrong with people at that field ,lmao 😂

[@az_pit_viper4270]

Tha F-16 landing has me puzzled. I award the pilot no points and may God have mercy on their soul.

[@tysoncott7402]

F-16 landing is typical of most of the guys that fly these jets, more $$$ then pilot skill, that landing was ridiculous.

[@quickturn66]

Can’t believe that first jet hung in the air that long without flipping over

[@eldritchshiner]

It was like this was his first ever R/C landing attempt, lol

[@clarka5650]

Agee. Amazing it didn’t tip stall and flip onto the runway. It’s also amazing it made it back to the runway at all especially since there was some crazy servo jitter on the elevator clearly visible during the taxi. I thought for sure it would lose pitch control shortly after takeoff

[@ronaldweed6103]

Awesome flying especially them jets

[@cwwisk]

Great video quality.

[@robertcovell2787]

One of those EDF's got 5 or 6 landings for the price of 1. That's a good deal!

[@renercadventures]

Awesome video 🤩👍

[@rcchaser]

Thanks for the visit

[@eclipser2004]

Nice video. Just found Markham Park in Sunrise Florida on Google Earth. You can clearly see the rc field. I get down that way every now and again. Liked and subscribed

[@rcchaser]

Thanks, yes come see us!

[@winibaldcroux2000]

There's a heck of a lot of carnage video coming from that place...unsafest rc field in the US?

[@dengudomlige8644]

I lost count of all the dramatic mid-air collisions...

[@Flybrei]

Nice Video 👍

[@johnhamburger8811]

I’m honestly astounded that these RC jets are legal anywhere near a population center. If there’s a practical difference between these things and command guided missiles it’s not particularly obvious to me.

[@lomeygoat]

The armed warhead...

[@tomsawyer9403]

Completely agree. It's insane that jets are allowed to fly at this small field which is surrounded by a highway, an active parking lot and sidewalks with pedestrians.

[@randomnickify]

They are not legal near population centers, this is airclub in the middle of nowhere and big RC are heavily legally regulated, ease your buttocks.

[@franklinmellott2319]

Any number of these are overflying non participants driving inside the park as well on divided highways just outside the park. BIG violations of part 107 and yet Park ignores it.

[@larryoakley]

The video title is right...Real mayhem in that flying field, no rules, no spotters, no landing or low pass callings and all kind of funny pilots with expensive planes ...looks like nobody cares, The worst part, I saw a road full of cars and transit right there in front of the field :(

[@tomsawyer9403]

I would not fly there. It's a recipe for disaster.

[@n26fe34]

we saw the Chaos-Pilots himself......katastropic

[@toanthai]

It hurts seeing the F-16 slams into the runway. Good job on the video. Time to clean those dust spots on the sensor :)

[@rcchaser]

Thanks

[@mjproebstle]

saw 2 good landings, less booming and zooming and more pattern work!

[@sk72]

Yup! Gotta work on the landings

[@mave311]

hi Dana, from Markham park Florida....lol

[@keepitreal6487]

From Ripmax two channel trainer to large scale F16...well thats what it looked like.

[@johncrumpley8702]

I've got an idea. I'm flying a trike two hundred feet above the runway, so I'll just dive in rather than make a controlled approach. What could go wrong?

[@emanuelmota7217]

Welcome to Mayhem Park, where they fly jets in a small field, many of the pilots are unskilled, and the runway is only 800 feet from Sawgrass Expressway. Given its proximity to that expressway, the lack of piloting skills and poor discipline I've seen on their many posted videos it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed or seriously injured here.

[@TehNetherlands]

The F-16 pilot at 3:55 didn't move an inch, he may have suffered a back injury during landing.

[@MrUrrl]

Before Covid we could get there at sunrise before the others and take turns flying one at a time. Now that the hours have changed to 8am I don't go anymore.

[@LDDFPV]

imagine flying such planes whilst not having a clue at all

[@iansummers6945]

Skippy the red Goshawk!

[@MrUrrl]

I don't understand; this runway was repainted not long ago and now looks like a blotchy mess. What a difference in 6 months.

[@rcchaser]

cheap coating; MMPA club contributed to the efforts

[@Flying-xh9kj]

I am shocked more than anything that this could be a legal place to fly RC planes, let alone turbines.

[@robertskrobalak308]

surprised they fly turbines over a public highway

[@johnathanhernandezmars805]

Its not a bad place its just some idiot pilots

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Have you forgotten this is america? Dont like it? Cuba would love more people

[@dirtylatte]

A lot of those "missed landings" look like "tail wind landings". Are you guys landing into the wind or with the wind?

[@josedieguez8754]

The wind was calm that day . It’s always good to have a little head wind

[@hughwiedman9711]

Typical for Markham "Mayhem" Park. Take off and fly at your own risk. Great Video as always. Miss flying at Markham, but don't miss the mayhem there. Come to AMPS more often and get some videos there, much more relaxed and safer.

[@SeanHernandezsean]

It's Mayhem because it's only open Sunday and Monday now instead of only one or two planes flying at a time it's like 6 or 7

[@hughwiedman9711]

It was like that, IMO, even before covid, 7 days a week. Typically a lot of horrible landings and the occasional midair collision. I got struck from behind myself once by one of the many yahoos. Too bad cause the field is first class. That's why I moved to AMPS. We've been open 7 days a week since May and have 450 members, but I always get to fly alone during the week and even weekends only a couple in the air at once and 1/2 time alone as most of us let each other take turns.

[@aaronstrom16]

So confused why he landed that F-16 like that..I was expecting to see a high-alpha pass but then he just drops it down unexpectedly..im sure it was an accident but curious to know what happened.

[@MX304]

Came in too slow, flared way to high, and stalled it.

[@davidrivero7943]

Gotta be Markham & happy to see a great turnout.👍

[@RC_KAI]

Why does markham “mayhem” Rc park always look like it’s filled with rich old men?

[@Statek63]

Maybe because it is ? ;-)

[@lomeygoat]

Cos it is..the more money than brains brigade!

[@dariostorni124]

Markham park is a nice place but you have too many planes flying at one time and in different directions, no rules! AMPS is a better option to fly and it’s opened 7 days a week.

[@janrc]

I would love doing the same!

[@MrZumi58]

Modely sú prekrásne, no ešte sa musia naučiť pristávať .....

[@tomsawyer9403]

This club, the Markham Park Airfield in Sunrise, Florida, makes me nervous. Field is too small for turbines, right next to a highway, trees, and a busy parking lot and road, lots of poorly skilled pilots, people flying out of the pattern. And I've seen other videos at this club with some scary crashes that landed near bystanders, or in the lake next to the highway. This is a recipe for disaster. And the AMA is ok with this?

[@brentrogers8775]

IS THIS MarkHam Park in weston Florida??

[@rcchaser]

yes

[@flyingernst]

pilots of you: so many with wonderful handling in the air, but why stop flying before it is on the ground? :-) you have so good control, just keep until the end,

[@robertcornelius3514]

Older pilot of years gone by, "I will learn what all the moving parts are on an RC plane." Today's pilot, "Just show me the throttle."

[@kaw1997]

WOW i flew with 2 people like that and it was enough to run me off at my local field some of these people need more sim time!

[@descent815]

At my local field jets and piston planes are not allowed to fly together! Every time there would be an accident. I don’t know about you but if I put money time blood sweat and tears in that plane and some douchbag in a jet wrecks it we would be fighting FOR SURE!

[@allglasstinting]

You need to change the name of this video to just another day at markham. I send my 10 minutes back.

[@TheThedeuce]

7:00 you’re welcome. The rest is good too

[@lindsaylamont8292]

All fly the same circuit would be a good start

[@duschiavon]

Is that Markham Park in South FL?

[@rcchaser]

Yes. It is.

[@duschiavon]

@@rcchaser i should know. No respect when others are flying. 6k jet flying and a piece of cardboard takes off while jet is doing a low pass

[@sotm6078]

Where is this air field located exactly?

[@gonzalorosadilla1667]

Weston FL 33327

[@rcchaser]

16001 W. State Rd. 84, Sunrise, FL 33326

[@scottairshows9828]

Don't mean to sound like a jerk but when are people going to wake up to the fact that following year after year the advice to keep up extra extra speed on landing leads to a lot of broken planes

[@InternetGoldMiner]

Markham is barley big enough for these jets so you better be able to handle your plane.

[@chew1047]

Where was the mayhem ? Where was the multiple mid air crashes ? A fine example of click bait...

[@williamsandsted9]

The guy flying the F-16 should not be flying turbines! That approach was horrible.

[@TriplethreatindustriesRC]

🤔🤷‍♂️💩🤯

[@ChipMIK]

Too little skill & too many money...Again. That F-16 guy should never fly any class of plane like that

[@pat14162]

Les vols de jets sont tous identiques, rien d'original et pas très variés : ils tournent en rond, toujours dans le même sens, des low-pass à chaque passage dans l'axe de la piste, suivis d'un demi huit cubain inversé, des tonneaux, et ça s'arrête là. Aucune originalité, à part la vitesse de vol.
