I fly at a converted BFI dump site WELL, at least there's grass
Yeah John, we do have a good field, I wish I had some good pics of the field from the ground, it's a nice setup. The pics I had got dumped by accident, dang computers anyway.

Flying on a dump is better than not flying at all!

I'll get there sooner or later.

Ok Mike, we're almost there...

The leanto is that thing that looks like the half a building on the side of the barn, you know, that thing that looks like that other thing we talked about? You know...

Hey Don,

That photo must have been taken just before your incident, sorry we missed that shot

I'm also sorry I missed meeting you there, I was attending a Pattern event on Saturday and Sunday, but I flew all day Friday at the field.

I hope you had a good time at the event, I heard everyone had a good time, of course not counting those of you that lost a bird...I seriously hate it when that happens.

Ken, as far as I could tell, everyone had a GREAT time. Even with losing a plane, I brought two more and had a fine day of flying.

And what a great field. Almost as good as ours (Flint Aero RC Club, Inc.) .

We got a letter from Bill Oberdeick this fall asking if our club would considere hosting next years' Fun Fly. Hope we do, since our field is perfect!
