2009 PHOTOGRAPHS

August 16, 2009, was the last day for flying before work begins on the reservoir. The three photos below are the last taken at Chesley Meadows for a while! Until our new field is finished in a couple of months, remember that Crazy Creek is available on Tuesday and Saturday mornings.

Sunday, June 7, 2009, Doug Moore flew his A-26 for the first time. This VQ model 286 "Flying Coffin" ARF has a 68-inch wing span and is powered by two OS .35's. The photos below that document this nail-biting event were taken by Scott Drew.

Sunday, June 7th, was the first time Jack Tatum was able to come to the field since his surgery. The photo below left shows Jack getting his CAP ready for flight. The photo below center is Jack with his Waco. Photos were taken by Scott Drew.

Scott Drew also came out to fly on Sunday, June 7th. Great to have you back! The photos below show Scott checking out a micro electric plane. These photos were taken by Wendy Drew.

Last week Jay Carey gave Doug Moore's oldest grandson, Luca, a few lessons. Luca, 7 1/2 years old, managed a few turnsand one loop! Thanks Jay. Photo contributed by Doug Moore April 19, 2009.

Saturday, March 28, 2009, started out to be a good day for flying. Four of our members gave us a little show with their warbirds--Paul & P-47, Kevin & P-47, Don & Mig-3, and Jack & Spitfire. Kevin's plane had some trouble and came down. The pilot in Kevin's P-47 was really upset as you can see in the photos below that were taken by Don Wicks.

Bill Winter is our newest member. Even though the wind was really kicking up, Bill came prepared with his kite. Photo taken April 5, 2009 by Dee Tatum.
