reat to see a good group out there at Beaverfork. Great to meet Phillip
and Jason. You guys have also been added to Letkrik_Flyers just FYI. You
can also look below my signature line for website info, and other links
that might help out.
I'm becoming somewhat of an expert at plane retrieval from trees. I have
put mine in them enough times, and have now helped at least 3 others get
theirs out. Just glad to have help around and sometimes lucky enough to
get to it with just a little help in engineering if materials are
available. Thanks Joel for helping rig all that up. I'm just glad those
rotten limbs held together long enough to get that dislodged. That could
have been much much worse! ;-)
This kind of weather takes me back several years to when John Cooper and I
would get home from work, and head straight out to Wooster International
(Wooster Park) and fly until dark or later (before they started fencing it
in). The kind of weather we had this evening was very good, although I did
notice some buffeting by some of the lighter planes once they cleared the
treetop line, but that is just something you have to get used to there.
Definitely some activity on the flying front lately and I guess finding the
right time is about as important as finding the right place. What a full
weekend of flying. L.A.F.F.S had a GREAT Fly In on Saturday (Friday kind of
got rained out), Fort Smith had the Low Fly In, and cap the weekend off
with some quick flying action and there you have it.
Thanks Tray and all for posting that out.
See you in the air...
