Ten minutes later a Corsair did almost the same thing, he lost it turning inbound to land in a corner of our field that's notorious for stalling. Three planes had landing gear issues, two did nice jobs saving the landing, one not so much. Yesterday we had a Yak go in after servo froze up, We had two guys doing Freestyle flights together and the crowd loved it. Sat was picture perfect weather wise and we dodged the storm on Sunday, but it got windy in the afternoon. Ended up with 45 pilots, which I was thrilled with. Minimal line to wait to fly, and folks tended to fly with similar planes. We had 4 Carbon Z T-28's up at the same time doing a loose formation routine. Mine as the white one with orange accents, lol. Normally we have Dean Lampron (lives in Mass) and Tyler McCormack (lives in NH) fly as well, they are a HUGE crowd favorite but both were at Clover Creek competing. The crowd loves watching them, and they are fantastic guys to hang around and chat with as well. Most times they help out up and coming pilots of all ages with radio issues and dialing their planes in. We missed the turbine and glider guys this year, the glider guys put on great show last year and were crowd favorites.
