Saturday and Sunday   03/15-16/03 


Jimbo,

What a beautiful day to fly Saturday, sunshine and almost zero wind.   The WTRC was well represented as well, I counted 21 members and pilots.   I could kick myself for not counting airplanes, and lets not forget helicopters, but I would guess at least 35 aircraft.

There was a special club meeting at the field Saturday, two bylaw changes and new officers were elected.   But I will not tell you about all this because the newsletter will have the details.

When you go out to the field you should notice there "NO" trees to the north for the full width of the runway.   Thanks to everybody who came out and worked Saturday morning.   It was alot of hard work, but there was enough "BS" and cutting up to make it alot of fun.

Everybody is bringing out their new planes.   Anthony Hardin and son brought their new Ryan, slick looking plane and flew great.   Tim Morris reincarnated the Tiger Moth (mid-air collision last year) , I love to watch that plane fly.   Jim Wilson brought out a 40 size P51, this plane had some beautilful detail work.   Mike Kruger brought out his new 1/3 scale Cap 232, unfortunally servo problem kept him from flying.   And finally Frank Gerard flew his new Patty Wagstaff Extra 300 with 64 Fuji.   Jeff Layman had a busy weekend, he flew each one of these planes for the first time.

It was great to see this many people out to fly.   By the way Jeff Milam will be a Dad again on Wednesday morning, I see a new pilot on the horizon. Best of luck to Jeff and his wife.

Later,

Jimmy
