Not that one. I don't remember the name of the club but it was in Jersey. I first found it when they flew off a length of route 80 before it had opened about 45 years ago. Then they were ousted form there and flew in another stretch of route 80 in Parsippany. They were ousted from there and flew in Towaco airport for a bit, and is where I saw Jersey Jim. Don't know nor have I ever met Bonetti. The closest I came was at the '81 SeguinNats. I met Dave Brown therefor the first time.

I used to travel with a gent who was in constant need of models. So I was his mechanic and builder so to speak, back when I was in high school. Practically nothing prefabbed in those days. What a great way for a 14 year old kid to develop his noodle. The gent had little mechanical aptitude and he depended almost entirely on me to keep his crates flying. He crashed every weekend so I'd spend a few nights every week fixing the crates only to repeat the cycle the following week. I got some spending cashand rides to and from the model sites..... It was one way to do it, and certainly not the best way. But boy did it ever light a fire in my belly.
