Close, it was Disney Land in SoCal. Cox took over the circle from Wen-Mac in '58 and ran it until Disney shut it down in '65.

Lol, It won't fly the complete pattern if thats what you mean.

It's plastic, compared to balsa they all flew bad, but that not why I love 'em. In reality it probably flew as good (or as bad) as most plastics. I can see the F-100 actually having good line tension as it's pretty clean and should had a good power to weight ratio.

Gosh - I know I'm dating myself, but I remember the Disneyland Flight circle. I saw a couple of combat airplane fly there for the first time as a kid.
