I took some shots of some of the models that we'll have in action the next time. Mark Lowe and I hope to get in sync, once again, to produce some great shots like this one here:
It was pretty windy today and most didn't risk flying. Takeoff and flying is difficult enough with a 7-10mph wind; making a safe landing is especically hard, harder on the model when it crashes. A dreat job of field maintenance by Mark and Jim for how much area they mowed with a 22" mower!! Thanks, guys.
But thanks to Tommy Meyer, no one went home disappointed. Tommy served up a great breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausages, diced potatoes and onions.Awesome chef 'ing!! And the "Sheriff" brought an urn of coffee.
