Another Great Saturday at the Flying Field

April 13th, 2004

Photo Album Index

Wow, what a Saturday!  Most of you participated.  I counted 32 members that flew today, and we also had several guests.  There might even have been more members participating since some came flew and then left.

Towed gliders, rockets, park flyer electrics, polydihedral trainers, 3-D electrics, 1/4 scale IMAC, precision scale, fun flyers, darts, biplanes, high wing, low wing, helicopters, powered by single cylinder, twin cylinder, triple cylinder, 2 cycle, 4 cycle, glow, gas, and electrics all flew here today.

Some of the special planes that flew today were; Bob Walker's Wright flyer, a twin electric powered model, and Gary Parker brought out an electric Antoinette and a three cylinder Saito powered GeeBee.  Bill White brought out a giant P51 but had engine trouble and didn't fly.

Jim Lawrence had us all on our feet today with his low passes and thrilling show line express.  He got a round of applause after his landing.

Many members of the community stopped by to watch the planes and a few folks inquired about memberships.

Our only accident occurred when Sid Healey forgot to extend his transmitter antenna, and broke his 4 star 60 on take off.  Sid also flew a neat foam electric and towed Pat Maher's glider up with his 4-Star 60.

Thank you all for the fun day.  It was really great to see the wide spread flying action today.
