[AlaskaRC] Hal Horton Fun Fly - Awesome

[Steve]

It was a great turn out for the Hal Horton fun fly this year. What a great weekend we had. Thanks Bob, Armand, Pat, Jon, Reeves, and everyone else who helped out on Sat and Sun. Those rockets were really impressive, Doug. Especially the second and third launches. Wow! I'll bet the third rocket flight got up over 2500'. All size planes flew off the new airstrip on Saturday. It may not be golf green smooth yet, but some of the members have made plans to rent equipment (out of their own pocket, so relax), and donate time to work on a permanent airstrip adjacent to the temp airstrip so that next year we'll have an airstrip so smooth and long you can even fly jets off of. 

Have fun!

Steve

  The Hal Horton fun fly was awesome.  The weather couldn't have been better, and the company was pretty good too. :)

  Thanks to Bob for the burger, Pat for the winch time, and to all for indulging my rocket habit.  

  Woot!

  Doug

  One other thing.  Don't forget the Hal Horton event this Saturday!

   

  The folks at the General Store (the last store/restaurant/campground/etc. before you come to the gravel road) are really, really nice to us.  They know who we are and are happy to see us.  We also invited them to stop on by.  If you need any last minute items, be sure to stop in there and say hi.  They have ICE in bags too!

   

  See you at Groeshel's this weekend.

  I just got back from helping Armand do some maintenance on the mower out at Groeshel's. The strip and pit area is freshly mowed (thanks mostly to Armand) and ready for the weekend. When I left Palmer, I was expecting to do nothing more than get the field ready because of the way the weather looked (which wasn't good). But about 1:30 the sun came out and it got really nice out there for the rest of the day. So after the grass was mowed I whipped out my plane and flew. It ended up a beautiful afternoon. That place is soooooo huge!

   

  Your right Doug. It's so big and flat out there the clouds do look lower.

   

  See you there,

   

  Steve
