Twelve club members were joined at the filed today by two guests to enjoy the beautiful weather and a fun day of flying.
A number of members used today to fly their FliteTest Spitfires to practice for the upcoming pylon race next month. By all indications, this event promises to be both exciting and fun.
Many sorties were flown today, including John Watkins with his Carbon Cub S2, Harold Blakney with is AeroScout S2, Stephen Yanacek with his Maule M-7, Richard Boyd with his 2-meter T-28 and twin-engine Beechcraft D-18, Jim Davis with his low-wing black monoplane, Gavin Fregans with his Apprentice S2, and Pete Carros with his scratch-built 3-D aircraft.
Following the day's activities, we all headed home with our planes intact, some good memories, and anticipation of flying together again very soon.

Pete Carros, Skip Wescott, Robert Yanacek, Peter Fynn, and Jim Davis met for breakfast today at the Jolly Roger Restaurant to welcome our newest member, Rose Carros before heading to the field for a day of flying activities.
At the field we were joined by Jim Shiels and everyone had a good day of fellowship and flying a variety of aircraft, despite some strong and challenging wind gusts.

Field Cleanup Day: 04/06/24
Robert Yanacek, Skip Wescott, Mike Alexander, Bernie Feaganes, John Silva, Pete Carros, Jim Davis, Peter Fynn, and Jim Shiels met today for breakfast at the Jolly Roger Restaurant for conversation about upcoming projects and events for 2024.
Following breakfast, our group headed to the flying field to perform annual cleanup activities, where we were joined by Richard Boyd and Mike Kirkpatrick.
Today's effort involved demolishing our old storage shed and transporting the debris to the dump. Before beginning this process, we first had to evict an opossum who had made a comfortable home inside the structure and was reluctant to leave. Once the opossum was safely relocated, work commenced and remarkably, the remainder of our effort was completed in about an hour thanks to the teamwork our members displayed in getting the job done. Next week we will continue this process by mowing the grass for the first time this year, followed by installing our newly constructed work tables at some point in the near future.
Pilot's Breakfast: 03/09/24
Poor weather continues to dampen our ability to fly, so we continue to meet for breakfast on our traditional day for flying to catch up with news and to share our recent modeling activities.
Those attending our Pilot's Breakfast at the Jolly Roger Restaurant today were: Pete Carros; Charlie Doss; Peter Fynn; Skip Wescott; Robert Yanacek; Jim Davis; Mike Alexander; John Silva, and; Grant Dick.
Pilot's Breakfast: 03/02/24
Heavy rain prevented flying today, so Robert Yanacek, Skip Wescott, Charlie Doss, Jim Davis, John Silva, Pete Carros, Peter Fynn, and Jim Shiels met instead to discuss radio control aviation over breakfast at the Jolly Roger Restaurant at our popular "Pilot's Breakfast."
Everyone had a good time, and Charlie Doss took orders for his next production run of club ball caps. Those members who did not attend today's gathering will be receiving an e-mail shortly providing information and ordering instructions for these hats.
