May 3rd - 4th
The fly-in was a huge success! The weather threatened to wash out the event but by the time Saturday arrived, the skies turned clear, sunny, and blue. The wind probably supressed turnout on Saturday, but the wind died down on Sunday and Sunday became an unofficial extension of the fly-in.

Warbirds on Saturday / General Flying on Sunday
Saturday was the type of hot, humid day made more for swimming pools than flying fields. But the warbird diehards made the best of it.

Sunday drew a larger crowd and a number of spectators. Thanks to Lanny Coggins for doing registration and James Batts for cooking.

Quickie Racing Day
It went well for the most part (except for Josh and Dudley). Unfortunately, none of us were bright enough to actually take pictures during the races. So we all lined up afterwards and had our picture made.

The Fun Fly was a success. The weather was beautiful, the hamburgers were tasty, and the flying was great. Thanks to all the pilots and spectators for coming out Saturday. Jeff Strain spent all day with the buddy box and gave a lot of new pilots and want to be pilots a chance to fly. While his wife kept the grill going to feed this bunch. Thanks Guys!

First of all A Big Thanks to Glenn for mowing the runway, and organizing this Fun Fly.

It was just a great day to fly. Glenn got everything going in a timely fashion, and after the pilots meeting we were off and flying. First was the timed flight, the closest to 3 minutes from wheels up to wheels down. (Now we know internal clocks ain't all equal) Times ranged from 1 mi 30sec to more than 4 minutes, but Josh came in at 3 min. 6 sec. (way to go Josh) Next was the landing zone competition, each pilot got three landing, the runway was marked with different point zones. (Guys the key here is to land on the runway) Chris set a good example right off the bat, with 3 perfect landings. (good job Chris) And to the rest of you, at least no one was hurt! Then came the bomb drop, the object here was to drop a piece of wood on a target from a cup attached to your airplane. (sounds simple) Craig how many do-overs do you need? And Chris, when you drop the bomb watch the airplane not the bomb (that second boom was the plane). But Danny came thru and hit the bull’s-eye (he said he was good but I think it was luck). Last was the Balloon Pop, just hit a balloon 3 feet off the ground and pop it. Needless to say, for the people there, we need practice!

This Fun Fly was with out a doubt a big success. Fun was had by all.

Another beautiful Sunday afternoon, and lots of airplanes to fly.

Sign in time was 1:30pm and most of the pilots made it. (Rick) After a few warm up flights we were ready to go.

Your time started when you crossed the zero line, taxiing to the take off line. Then off you go. (if you could clear the grass) Once you're airborn, (if you didn’t lose your bomb on take off) you tryied to drop your bomb in the center of the target. (yeah right) Next, on to the Balloon Pop, also known as the cartwheel contest. (Glenn, watch that tent) If you are still able, try and make a carrier landing, but don’t kill your engine, you have to taxi back to the zero line. (did any one see that blue bear hit the carrier pole?) Oh! and by the way, the shortest time gets more points.

I would like to report that all planes made it back to the hanger in good shape, but there was one fatality. (Bill, next time pull up.)

And the winners are:
1. Josh (Lucky Dog)
2. Jeff (That last round did the trick)
3. Mike (That blue Bear done Good)

The Stick 40 One Design Fun Fly
A beautiful Fall Sunday afternoon, and nine airplanes ready to compete, and a crowd of spectators. Sounds like Fun.

One at a time, they took off and flew the bomb drop and made two touch and goes. Then came the landing. Most made it fine, the others… Well let’s just say R.I.P. (Mike)

Jeff was the big winner in the flying competition, and Chris the winner of the "Hollering" while watching your plane fall after a midair crash. Good Job!
