<p class=MsoNormal>To all the ARCS members.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Field Updates (Groeschel & Elmendorf AFB)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>*****<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>GROESCHEL FIELD<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to a small but extremely dedicated group of
individuals (including Wayne Brost), the new permanent runway at Groeschel is
just about ready to be seeded. Actual seeding is scheduled for sometime
this weekend. The hope is to let the grass get a good foothold before
winter which will give it a good head start next spring. In the meantime
the ‘temporary’ runway is completely usable (approx. 75’x700’).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The new runway has been landscaped to the point that it is
just about perfectly flat now. Believe it or not, the runway is a little
over 1,000 feet long (2/10’s of a mile)! And it is about 80 feet
wide. That is nearly TWO ACRES of runway! For comparison, you could
place Moffitt’s runway or Elmendorf’s paved runway in the middle of
the Groeschel runway and still have an additional 200 feet of flat runway on
both ends.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>ELMENDORF AFB FIELD<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I went out to the Elmendorf field this morning to take a
look around. It is definitely a great place to fly but I did notice a few
things that need tending to:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>1-- The big workbenches have not been fixed or replaced yet.
Mark Ritz said that he is on it but he's been very busy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>2-- It is in need of mowing and weed-eating.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>3—There is quite a bit of ‘junk’ that
needs to be hauled to the dump (small refrigerator, broken down desk, and misc
items inside the building behind the door, etc.). The refrigerator and
desk are just laying on the ground outside the shed. Probably one good
load in a full size pickup truck would do it (I don’t have a pickup or
I’d just grab it myself).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any expenses (like dump fees, purchase of wood, gas, garbage
bags, etc) can just be presented to me or any of the club officers and you will
be promptly reimbursed (keep your receipts). If you need the funds up
front, let me know and I will get you some money to work with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We definitely need to keep it presentable out there.<o:p></o:p></p>
