Some Leisurely Flying: 05/11/25
Taking advantage of some nice weather, Richard Boyd and Skip Wescott enjoyed the day doing some leisurely flying with a number of planes, including an Apprentice STS.
Field Maintenance: 05/10/25
No flying activities were scheduled today, so Skip Wescott and Robert Yanacek took the opportunity to mow the grass at the field and trim around all the structures.
The field is looking really great and we look forward to enjoy it with some flying very soon.
Field Maintenance and Flying: 04/19/25
Stephen Yanacek, Richard Boyd, Skip Wescott, and Robert Yanacek were at the field today cutting grass and trimming around structures in preparation for the 2025 flying season.
Following these activities, Richard flew his twin-engine Beechcraft D18, followed by Stephen with his AeroScout. Despite a heavy crosswind with wind gusts to over 20 miles-per-hour, both flights fortunately ended with successful landings.
Pilot's Breakfast and Hobby Shop Visit: 03/15/25
Fog in our area made flying too hazardous, but it failed to stop some of our members from getting together for breakfast at the Jolly Roger Restaurant, followed by a visit to our newly-opened local hobby shop.
Robert Yanacek, Stephen Yanacek, Kim Lloyd, Peter Fynn, Skip Wescott, Grant Peacock, Jim Shiels, and Ann Lloyd attended our pilot's breakfast and were joined by Jason Bailets, the owner of Sports Zone Hobbies OBX.
Following breakfast, our members made the short drive to the hobby shop to attend its pre-opening event. There we were joined by club member Charlie Doss, and spent about forty-minutes checking out the available merchandise and making purchases.
Pilot's Breakfast: 02/01/25
Since no club activities were planned for today, Pete Carros, Peter Fynn, Jim Davis, Robert Yanacek, and Skip Wescott met at the Jolly Roger Restaurant for breakfast and conversation about flying.
As usual, everyone had a good time and some tentative plans were made to possibly fly on Monday as conditions are looking favorable.
Military Aviation Museum Field Trip: 01/25/25
Nine club members went on a field trip today to Virginia Beach to visit the Military Aviation Museum and see their wonderful collection of aircraft and aviation-related exhibits.
Jim Davis, Skip Wescott, Philip Garey, Peter Fynn, Chris Thompson, Jen Thompson, Cooper Thompson, Emmett Thompson, and Robert Yanacek spent the entire day viewing and learning about the over 50 World War I and World War II-era aircraft on display. In addition to the fully-operational airplanes, the museum's exhibits also included numerous vehicles, weapons, aviation-related equipment and structures, and even a Second World War-era control tower that was brought to the museum from Goxhill, England.
Following our visit, a number members in our group stopped at the Coinjock Marina and Restaurant where we enjoyed a late-lunch and discussion about our enjoyable visit at the museum before heading home.
