Matt,
it was great seeing you again at the e-fest!
Orchard Farm is most definately by far the BEST field anywhere in the st. louis area.
I plan on joining the club this year if i can ever find enough money. it is quite
expensive for me to join, and its about a 40min drive each way

66stang · 02-14-2009, 03:49 PM

Darn it, you guy's make me want to join again. I know a lot of the guys in that clb and your right it an awesome place. I jut wish somebody flew during the week. I work nights and weekends are hard to get away.

Yeah Jared the only problem for me is the driving, abotu 40 mins as well. I know its the best place in STL if I have the time in my work schedule this spring I will join and do my weekend flying there.

Gee thanks, I might as well be laid off right now I would be better off on unemployment and supplemental pay. If you get the urge to fly on a nice day there is more than a 50% chance I'm off right now. for example last week I had 1 day of work and next week I might get 2.5 days

But enough of my crying OFRC is a great place to fly. hmmm If only I could shoot there too muahahahahaha

66stang · 02-14-2009, 09:05 PM

So are you guys saying your available during the day to fly?

Greyhoundman · 02-14-2009, 10:26 PM

don't take this the wrong way, but unfortunately I am frequently available.......I used to really hate working all the time and not being able to take off when I wanted.

66stang · 02-14-2009, 11:35 PM

Chris what time are usually available to fly? I fly at my other club around 11:00 to 3:30

Here are some pics from our open house in 2007, the grass is much better now. http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/f...tml#post250720

dude... YES!!! bring a plane...no, bring several planes and fly!!!!!!!!!!

the HF series is quite simply a series of weekends strategically placed across the country to bring FG'er together in all things "HUCK"! these are terrific weekends of flyin', fellowship, and fun... and oh yeah, a couple tall tales get told along the way!

get there and enjoy! they are great pick me ups after the conclusion of the nall each year!

**Cracky** · 02-23-2009, 08:41 PM

Smokin, I'm hoping to make STL and Rockford. I approached the subject to momma over the weekend. That is a busy time as we have family in from DC the week before the 4th and a family reunion in there too...BUT, I remain hopeful. I want to see them 60%'s and your dad's 40-Cubbie....
