Any chance the recent weather events will effect the event. I understand Louisville has had some flooding with more rain expected

NO, in fact the weather is looking really good for next weekend.

But I'll keep you posted of anything. 20 have preregistered and I expect another 10 pilots or so.

I just looked at the river gauge and the river is at 19 feet it would have to get to 45 to cover the driveway and flood stage is 55 feet, So I think we are in good shape!

Glen you'll get to enjoy all that open space on Thursday! Working on dinner plans for Saturday, Thursday and Friday there are plenty of places within walking distance of the Best Western.
There is a grill on site too.

It seems like most of this years events have had to deal with less than perfect weather, back in May when we had the EDF meet at Riverview we saw about 30 minutes of rain each afternoon and then it cleared and we flew until dark in the most perfect conditions one could ask for. The bad weather stayed north and south of us.

We are just a few days away from the event. The forecast is for beautiful fall weather. We currently have pilots attending from Maryland, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, and Missouri.
Thanks for looking.

Default Sneak Peak

I thought I'd share this photo of the field as it was cut this morning and will be cut again on Thursday. The grass is incredibly lush with all the rain we've had and the hard work of the grounds crew.

We should be there Thursday afternoon sometime. Maybe get in a flight before dark. I'm excited about flying the VIper off grass to see how it does.

The field looks amazing

Default Directions to the Site

http://orvrcf.com/13-gps-and-directions


This is the link to our website for directions to the field. The exit when crossing the river from Kentucky is #123 and is the first exit after you cross the bridge. Turn right at the bottom of the ramp. Go three blocks to main street (St Rt 111) turn right, in about one mile there is a fork in the road, Stay left on St Rt 111, there will be a Thorntons Convenience store on your left. If traveling east on I64 it is the last exit BEFORE crossing the bridge, when you exit I64, go straight three Blocks to Main St and turn right then follow the above direction.

Thorntons sell Kero and about everything you will need as far as snacks an beverages are concerned.

IF YOU NEED SOMETHING STOP HERE AS IT IS THE LAST STORE BEFORE THE FIELD!
