Congrats Bob on "gettin 'er done"! I think that's record time for Bob to finish a plane (I'll bet he had someone build it for 'em).

Have fun fellers, I'll be working for the next 5 days south 'o the border. Hope you have cool temps and blue skies!

Joe,
I stopped by to see Wilcox when I came out to pick up the BobCat from you and he really was working on it !! Slow but sure wins something I think.

Afterburner,

Are you going to be there at 1100 on friday or sat? Do you mind if I come by and check the field out? Am I allowed to fly just once before joining?

Jason,
should we maybe bring the smoke setup for the boom A rongo? Does it still have that engine that runs in the mide 500s? lol!
Glad Billy will come it should only be mid 90s and low humidity, so he will not chaff.

Dave,

Ravill can fly as a one time guest of a current BARKS member as long as he has an AMA card. For the turbine, he also needs a waiver or buddy cord.
If anyone wants to join the club, e-mail me for the applications or information.

Just in case some of the prior posts gives anyone the impression that this is one of those clubs where a field-nazi sits there monitoring whether everyone flying is a member or not .... that is definitely NOT the case, and the club has been extremely welcoming towards non-members.

In the past, we've had 30+ non-club members descend on the field for a day of fun flying jets, without any complaints at all from the club about us taking over from the local guys, or us not ponying up the dollars to join the club. It is the jet guys themselves who have been pushing for the non-members within our ranks to cough up a membership fee, because we want to thank the club for being so welcoming to us by ensuring that we help boost the club coffers a bit. That's why Dave et al suggested that you join. The membership fee is pretty low too - probably less than the cost of gas for you to make one trip down there. Of course, there's nothing to stop us donating a little extra on the side, given how low the fee is

A number of clubs nowadays are either hostile to, or at least wary of, turbines - so when we find one that is so incredibly supportive of us we should go out of our way to support them in return.

Hi guys,

I just got off the phone with Doug Wheeler. He is emailing me an application and I'll pay via paypal. I was starting to feel like I was not welcome there for just a second[&o]......

Below is the link to my turbine waiver and ofcourse I'll have my AMA and Turbine waiver with me when I get there. We're all in this hobby to have fun together so lets burn some Jet-a!!

Dude ... come over to the light. The dark side is not where you want to be.

Would you rather have a radio that's Just Right, or one that's F'd Up Totally, All Ballsed-up Again ?

Yeah, what Gordon said.
The club has been incredibly supportive of our Kero Frenzy, and we all want them to know how much we appreciate their hospitality. The only way we can do that is leave the place cleaner then when we showed up, and pay our membership like good folks.
