Default Bloomington Illinois Fly-in June 6, 7, 8th
This was going to be the Leukemia Society Benefit but has now just turned into a fly-in at my local field.
If your not busy, come and hang with us..
Its a bring what you got fly in. Electrics, helis, Giant scale, foamies.. whatever.
We did this two years ago and it was a lot of fun...

I can block off some rooms for people at maybe a discounted rate of there is a lot of interest.

Ward,

Just remember, as soon as you stop wind correcting your plane will not be in the position you want it to be so.......... Wind correct!

Have fun and let me know how it goes.
