Dad and I went up to the field yesterday to fly the Pawnee. Everything looks great. Can't wait for everyone to start rolling in, you guys are going to love it!

[JimD]

So what was the story on the Pawnee engine?

[Sinkhappens86]

The one from Salem was sent back to DA, don't think he's heard anything yet.

He dropped a new one in and has been breaking that one in, so far so good.

[BrianB]

I just finished registering and am looking forward to camping in the pines and flying from the other runway.

[Charlie]

I still have My 1/3 scale Hall Cherokee and My 40% KA-8 for sale
PM me if interested I can bring them up with me

[jjreds]

Eight tow planes confirmed - two runways - if winds are light one can be used for towing the other for glider landings, runways are grass full scale intersecting N-S and E-W
Plenty of room for campers/trailers/trucks/rigs/motorhomes bring it
Pond for the Labs
Lots of food - BYOB
Below published on the front page of the local Sunday newspaper this past weekend

Fantastic article!! I hope it generates lots of spectators and any local pilots who would like to give soaring a try. Can't get there until Friday morning, but really looking forward to this venue! Thanks so much for promoting and hosting.

[Steve P]

Directions to the Windy ridge field

Your GPS will get you there, but, it will probably take you the back way, pretty, but some dirt roads.

Here is the recommended route to Windy Ridge field, nice pavement, no dirt:
Take exit 38 off route 86 – Bath Exit
You will see hotels at this exit
Follow route 54 North signs
You will see the Hammondsport Fire department on your left.
Take the next right up the hill – this is Rt 87, Wayne road
You will see a sign for Watkins Glen and Camp Gorton, Turn right on Rt 114
Turn Left on Ridge Road (first left)
Go just about a mile and you will see the field on the left

This is a different spot than last year

Cant wait, should be great

Trailer is packed
Batteries are charged
Turbine is pack in there as well
I'm bringing ear plugs for all!

See you Thursday around 3
Because of the heat wave we had which was the perfect storm for My Oncall Guys
4 guys averaged 88 hours per person from Friday to Monday night!

It was unbelievable how many calls I got
I have a replacement Thursday morning than I'll hit the road around 10

See you all there
