who has the keys? and who is getting there the earliest?
Not sure if Billy has keys.

If you guys get stuck, let me know - can always ask Ian to detour via my house on the way down (I'm always up early anyway) and he can borrow my key plus Unicom.

Just talked to Ian. He said he has a Unicom and will work on the key.

OKey-doke. Ian - since you have a Unicom, you should be able to ask the club for a key. (AT least that's the way it worked in the past - if you could prove you had a Unicom for keeping in contact with the fullscale guys, you were allowed a gate key). You may want to check with Doug et al so that you can have a key for any future trips. Billy - with all of your mountains of cash you should be able to afford a Unicom so that you can get a key too :D

I just spoke to Doug and he said the club now has a Unicom in the water tower so keys should be available for all. I will be bringing my Unicom just in case as well though. Doug will be out there at 8 am tomorrow and he said he was going to bring some extra keys.

Glad to hear Doug is heading out in the morning. I would have driven out to unlock it for you guys, but the sooner I can hit the sack to sooner I can head out there.

See you around 11-12 ish.

Another awesome day at the Willow! Thank you guys for coming out. Didnt take any pictures but I saw McBride and Ian both with cameras. The chair Cub action was awesome. Thanks for letting me pull on your bird for part of the 40 minute fight bro!

See you guys a week after Florida!

Billy 02-21-2009 10:57 PM

RE: WILLOW RUN THIS SAT
 
That Cub action was sure fun. Ian please tell me you got that shot when Joe and I almost traded paint:D

Good to see everyone.

Matt, your Bobcat is wicked fast!!

Thanks for the key Doug, ( and the servo lead lock)

My daughter had a blast playing with all the kids out there. She is still knocked out!!

Found out there is a "deep pit" at the field;)

Pics Ian and Joe??

Yeah, I got some great cub shots, I just need to go through them, gimme like 20.

Indeed a great day!! Kenny got the 16 flying again and lookin smooth. Plenty of flight for the day, I got 7 flight on my 15 and the new struts, wheels and brakes a well as Sean's direct steering mod worked flawlessly!

Good times boyz!

I don't know what was more fun, cub'n or seeing my son covered in MUD for the first time. Nice formation flying by Ian and Matt with a bobcat and an F15?! I didn't get any pictures of that, but did get a few of the two of them solo. I shot some vid of Billy's Fbird which I'll have to edit and load soon.

Holy S....is that grass in the background?;)

RE: WILLOW RUN THIS SAT
 
Couldn't agree more about the cub'n. Man those poles do look really close and they are WAY out there. But hey that lens makes it look like there is grass at the Willow too... Maybe AA will come out and visit the field now? :D
