Mike,

Sometimes when the field is a public park, the safety officer is limited to what he/she can really do. There is a place in King of Prussia Pa that is like this. I have been there once. Though it's a nice field, the only way someone can be removed or asked to stop flying is if a Ranger does it. The clubs safety officer does not have "power" at all.

I suspect that they have a similiar problem. In essence the safety officer position at places like this seem to be of not much use since the ability to have someone stop flying is all they can do and that all depends on if that person just wants to be a PITA.

Bev,

I can relate to the rain thing, I know you just went through Ernesto as I was going to come down last week and do some flying over south of Tampa.

We just had 2.5 days of Ernesto here and I went stir crazy, but the good thing is I got all my maintanence done, then on Sun afternoon I got several flights in then yesterday I spent 12 hours flying almost all day long...Can you say "seriously sunburned face" from looking up almost all day long [X(][sm=red_smile.gif]
