Wednesday,
January
1st, was not a flying day as winds were gusting over 20 plus miles per
hour with temperatures in the low to mid forties. The trick was
to get to the field early as winds at 9:00 am where supposed to just be
about 10 to 12 mph before they picked up. So I was ready to go at
9:00 am sharp and got in two flights. Irwin was the second flyer
of the
year with just a few other pilots after that. We had a very
big turnout with over 25 members showing up although most didn't
fly. Augie
brought a trailer full of planes to the field for a quick sale.
These were the planes that his deceased brother, Greg, flew throughout the years. Hopefully by flying them, we will keep Greg's memory alive. The
drawing for the Hams was held
about
10:30 am and you can refer to the pictures below to see who the winners were.......
