Hopfully right down the middle of the runway. 5mph winds won't be too bad unless your flying a foamie. It should be very nice from all the weather reports.

The runway is positioned east to west and we fly facing north. The way our field is set up, the only bad wind is from the south. It is looking like we are going to have great weather after tomorrow!!

See you all there,

Sounds a whole lot like another problem we had in our younger years?
Next will be 50cent-itus, when this one hits you, you are done for.
I think it is a sickness wich there is no known cure for except more 50 centers

I am at the field. Last night I got woke up by some STRONG winds. Yesterday the wind got up about 2 pm and cleaned all the chairs out from under the pavillion.
I heard there was a tornado south of us and another north of us yesterday.
I bet the chairs are back in the yard again this morning.
If there would have been canopies up yeterday they would be in the next county now.
Power also went out here yesterday eve. I am not sure it is on yet as I am running my generator.

Weather looks a little windy today, looks fantastic for the rest of the weekend

I am at the field already, its very cold, expecting Some FFAA members very early, don't break you neck getting here, I might sleep in, But Mike will have to be up at the crack of dawn to get those giant beasts woken up. Remember to warm them up, it will be cold bbbbuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr,
Road is a little sloppy, they may redue it tomorrow, thats the rumor, for those of you arriving in the next couple of days tread lightly on the grass it is soft in places. Thank You, as far as the runway goes you can tear the hell out of it.

The zangster and I made it to Florida without to much trouble besides me "madmaxing" from the top rope landing an elbow on the fuse of my new python in my driveway. With a little help from aerographix were back in action. Field is nice and people are coming in droves. Got some good flying in today Friday looks great mid 60's

*whew* Just made it home. Didn't even unload the trailer, just left it at Charrua's house. We will get to it tomorrow.

Great time! I had a blast meeting everyone and eating some excellent fried bread provided by Mike.

Thanks to all of the Gateway club members, Rennie, Donnie and Peter for all the work that went into this event. I will DEFINATLEY be back when you do it again!

Yeah, Peter and Jeff both did an excellent job! I was lucky enough to be pitted between Doc and Absolute Yak. Both lots of fun. Doc, did you get that hot shower yet??
