RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Not only is it not good, the president of our local field in order to get turbine guys back for winning the popular election (IE allowing turbines to fly during burn bans) went to the city of Austin and they put into place a fine now if we fly turbines during a burn ban we can get a ticket, even though our club rules say we can fly turbines 365 days a year.

We have not been able to fly jets here since early May.

All is not lost though, we just hit the lake instead. Plenty of fun to be had there.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Could be worse - could be having a hurricane hitting you tomorrow morning. Sure this one's only little more than a Texas thunderstorm, but still a PITA.

Don't worry - you're drought will end in about 72 hours.... Remnants are headed straight for ya' brother!

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

sean, any pics of girls on the cliff? wat up? barry

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

With this weather who wants to fly anyway!

I like Seans idea a whole lot betta! :D

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Im afraid my jet would melt on the runway after the 107 yesterday

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Looks like the storm is getting ready to change things in texas. Fuelem up and gettem ready! lol.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

I doubt it, Travis county is always the first to go into a burn ban and always the last to come out of one. My best guess based on past years is that we will be unable to fly turbines here at least till next april and if we are lucky, we'll be able to fly for a couple of months.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Hmmm ... tough decision. Go burn dinosaurs with the guys, or go hang out with a bunch of bikini-clad babes ?

Lemme think about that dilema ffor a while. ;)

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

ya, sometimes, I guess, that is a no brainer, but still, RC jets can be fun too :D

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

AAhhh-oooh-gaaa....I am hanging out with the wrong crowd. Sean can I come hang ot with you Texas guys for a week or so....LOL
Forget the burn ban, stay out on the boat....

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

RC Airplane flying - SEE! Chicks really DO dig it!

I hope the burn ban doesn't go that long - would kind of scratch Waco this fall and THAT wouldn't be fun.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

No, it doesn't scratch Waco at all. Waco does not have any written orders with the county or with the club to prevent turbine flying 365 days a year. This stand down or pay penalty has only been put in place at Austin ARCA. Where they claim to be turbine friendly, but are not. They would rather have us come to an event to make the club money, and be out of practice with our airplane of choice which in turn makes us less skilled in our endeavors. I hope the rest of the clubs in Texas never follow Austin's lead. I used to be proud to be part of the "Austin gang". I can no longer say that because the implications used to be that we were Turbine Friendly, and on the forefront of newest technologies, and abilities to fly turbines.

Sadly, I don't know of any turbine flights that have happened within 80 miles of here in the past few months.

On the flip side, the more I go out on the boat, the luckier I get ;)

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

If you read between the lines of the idot fire marshall, you can't bbq,mow your yard or smoke a stogey. oh,yeah austin airport would be closed too

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Sean Looks like a small Party Cove... We have been hitting the lake as well here in Missouri.
My Boat .38 Special.
This is almost No action compared to all of the Completely unpostable pix on any given weekend...

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Yep, lots of Pee in them there coves!

Great looking Ride! I needed a more mission capable boat than the cigarette style, we do a lot of Scuba Diving, Wakeboarding, Skiing, hanging out, and probably a couple cases of brew, and bottle of Jack a week.

I am extremely lucky in that two of the guys I fly jets with here in Austin, also own boats. So my Jet Friends are also my lake friends. We meet out at the cove, hangout all weekend. We also have a Delivery BBQ with Tugs BBQ. More on them here: http://www.texasoutside.com/txorails...s/show_lake/19

All the same, I would still like to go out during the week and fly jets.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

Waco got at least an hour worth of rain last night according to weather.com, any recon from down there?

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

I haven't been down there (Waco) since their warbird flyin. [:@] I'll probably have to work next weekend too, so I'll just have to wait till T-38 time. I probably should go get some fuel too...

(Burn Ban Sucks!) X 10 x 10... :(

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

I tried to tell you guys that last big thread on burn bans was a bad idea
BUT NO you just had to let it go on
btw If you want to fly
come on out 98 degrees last week
and 5 gallons of jet fuel turned in to jet noise we had a blast

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

You boys should come to SUNNY SO.CAL and fly!!! There is all sorts of turbine loving clubs out here!!!!:D[X(]

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

LOL

in your dreamz boooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

I was just painting the Bandido in my garage, I must have sweat around 5 Gal of water. I feel like I've just lost weight.

RE: Burn Ban-Texas

I've been flying from around 5 to sundown on weekdays. Not too bad. I bought a prop jet hanging from the ceiling at Airport Pawn & Hobby for $175........been flying that since grounded. I'm such a [email protected] need for school to start, this is out of hand. At least when it was turbines it was a little more socially acceptable :D
