2007 UVFF fly-in Piqua, OH!

[Silvanskii]

The inaugural fly-in at the Upper Valley Fun Fliers field is only a weekend away! First weekend in August will play host to our fly-in. I know there's going to be some big un's and some small un's, some heli's and probably a turbine or two.

The field will pretty much be open as early as you want Saturday and as late as you want Sunday, but official hours are the standard 9-5 or so Saturday and 9-3 or so Sunday. I have a feeling Saturday night will be pretty fun! Plenty of wide open space around the field, with a 600 by 100 foot grass strip. Plenty of corn to pull if you feel so inclined as well! I already feel sorry for my 35%!

Easy access off of I-75. Just take the exit for Route 36 in the middle of Piqua. Head EAST on 36, you'll pass a Wal Mart on the left and shortly there after you'll hit an intersection with a light. Make a left (north) and the field is about 10 seconds away on the right side of the road just after the short S turn. That's it! If you're on 36 heading toward Piqua, make a right at the same intersection (Troy-Sidney Road).

I'll get some pictures of the field up soon. See y'all there!

It's gonna be fun. I fingered out my 35% today, then promptly put it in the corn trying to see how low I could get it hehehe....... it's filthy now.....

I'm bringing my whole air force with me!

I heard that you put it there purely by accident......... Any truth to that rumor???

I'm working like a government mule tonite...................... YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually the sun reflected off of swamp gas from Venus with the associated ball lightning from the tectonic plates shifting and causing static buildup which also effected my radio while the aluminum cap I wear to protect my brain slipped over my eyes. And my cell phone rang. And a bug bit me. All. At. The. Same. Time.

And I got freaking corn stuck in the freaking elevator counter balances and it just kind of flopped over upside down hehe.... Broke my prop though

I'm just glad it's flyable once again.

Ok, dude, thats it!!!!! I'm making a new set of Extra 300 stabs and elevators for my 35!!!! Just so that I don't get CORN in the counterbalances!!!! HAHAAHAH!!!!

[Silvanskii]

I was thinking of getting the Hangar 9 260 as a throw around plane hehe...........

IMPRESSIONS OF A PILOT

Flight is freedom in its purest form,
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;
To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within;
To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;
Then back to earth at the end of a day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.
Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;
For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
