Summer Afterburner
Hello, I must admit I'm a bit surprised not to see any post for the Farview Flyers Summer Afterburner rally. Maybe it's due to the RCU format change. Regardless I'd just like to take this opportunity to say thank you to Eric and all the Farview members for another great time. Even though the weather didn't work out in our favor it's still a great place to hang with old friends and make new ones. It was cool to see how many pilots would chance an expensive air plane in a 25 mph cross wind. Gives me something to shoot for as my jet flying skills progress. Thanks again Bob. P.S. the return key doesn't seem to be working.

Ditto what Bob said, the weather was crappy, but the people and event site were great as usual. We'll be back for the fall event and maybe even before. Here's some pictures from our gang.The last one is Dylan giving Buddy Scott his birthday muffin. Lol. For you guys on the fence about attending a grass field event if the Florida Jets field was this good there would be no complaints about the grass. The property owner cut and vacuumed the field on Wednesday just prior to us beginning flying for the rest of the weekend. Also one of the regulars Doane passed away just prior to the event and the event was dedicated in his name and his family was there. The family was presented with a wonderful banner that Bob Tursac had made and a memory stone with Doane's name is being located at the field in his memory, Horizon hobby donated a quad copter to I believe his grandson. Class act on everyone's part.

This may only work once since this only the second time I've been able to sign in since yesterday. I've been clearing cookies and cache but the account screen tells me I'm signed in and the forum screen tells me I'm not. I posted these pics on the other site but I'll try here as well. May have some more later if I can get back on.

Found some more pics this morning but couldn't post due to the "New Coke" of websites. Didn't even see that I caught the A-10's ordinance drop until this morning.
