Nearly a mile high above sea level there is a place in the clouds named Loveland, Colorado. The 2013 IPMS/USA National Convention, "The Thin-Air Nationals" was held during August 14-17 this year at the J. Q. Hammons Conference Center.

Lots of impressive work. The Nieuport collection is really something.
Great nations do not fall because of external aggression; they first erode and decay inwardly, so that, like rotten fruit, they fall of themselves. The strength of a country is the sum total of the moral strength of the individuals in that country.

Stephen, thanks so much for your well written article on this years IPMS Nats. Your photos are all nicely composed, properly exposed, and in focus. I particularly enjoyed the Golden Age of Aviation subjects you included, especially the old Aurora kit. Looking forward to Part 2.
