RE: The end of my Cessna!
Mike, You are so correct. I know that our park has changed managers mid year, and that the clubs have been to safety meetings at the park. I believe they are trying to work out the logistics at this point. Hopefully we will have some good news by mid fall on this subject. Again, this doesn't really happen during the weekdays or with club members. Plus it's surprising to have to explain to people the RULES which are posted on a HUGE board right next to the gates to the pits and flying field. (the gates even have a sign that states no spectators beyond this point...and we've had to tell people in the pit area that their friends, family and babies in strollers can't be out there next to the table while they are running up engines!!!) And to be fair, the safety officers have to wait for the Ranger to arrive who could be busy at one of the other many venues at this 666 acre park. By then, he has sometimes taken verbal abuse, and the offender could be finished flying and packing to leave anyway. Again, it only takes a few spoil a great day for all.
