    Got there on Thursday evening, great night for camping. Friday was great, Towed for about 3 hours and flew sailplanes for another hour. Saturday was cloudy, but towed for about another hour. It was a dive fest. Kevin and Len racing the tow plane down. They beat me every time. Thanks for hosting Tom. Great field.

        The weather may not have cooperated, but this field is absolutely perfect for aerotowing. It was a nice change from Cumberland last month, nice easy landings on a half mile long grass runway. Great lift on Friday and some awesome speed passes every day. Thanks again to Tom for setting this up, we will definitely be back!

          I arrived on Thursday at noon. Great open flat land and nice camping at the field... But I Can't believe everyone bailed on Saturday, because Sunday was an absolutely perfect day! 6 mph winds straight down the runway with sunny skies all day long. Argh!

              Great shots Tom. Especially liked the formation shots. They're always tough to get. Sorry on the video. Saw the one from on top of Kevin's Blanik. Looks like a great field. Sorry to miss it. Hope I can get there next time.

                Thanks Jeff! Still need to practice more on my focus.......still not as "crisp" as I want on some shots but that most likely is limitations of my lens......

                  Nice pics Tom, I spent my weekend with the Jet Jockeys in Mississippi, but we did have a Blanik with a jet on it to keep the Glider theme going

                    Tom: thanks for putting on this event. That field is quite the treasure. Friday was great flying and I only made one bad mistake and the plane survived so I am happy with that. Sorry I had plans lock in for Sunday with my son and family so I could not get down for what looked like another fine day.

                    As always thanks for the tows, you guys are really getting good at that part. Yuk, yuk.

                        Ok, problem on my end. Turns out there seems to be a problem with Safari on the IPad and flicker. Chrome worked fine. Thanks.
