Flying in Salem CT

[Jeff D]

Thanks to Len and Scott for the "pattern" tows. Low ceiling and crosswinds made for good day to practice landings and takeoffs. Unfortunately as Conio mentioned some of us need to shop time. Still a good day with friends.

To back up the insanity video (nice job), here are a few stills of the moment.

Take Gunny's new field transportation

Add a towline and several pilots looking to try something different

Result - Success (and entertainment value)

Thanks guys!!!

Tough weather today, cloudy and ceiling at about 800 feet. Yet we had a good time practicing takeoffs and landings. Much abuse of the corn field, and a number of use have some repair work to do.

I'll have to miss what is promising to be the better of the two days tomorrow, so, thanks to Len for the invite. See you all soon.

Looking forward to Saturday. Want to see if that new-to-me ASK-21 flies

[TomTerrific?]

Do you know the corn status? Doesn't really matter though....

Gunny, Any chance you have spare brake pad sets? Happy to take 1 or 2 if you do.

Corn status report: follows the expression... Knee High by the fourth of Ju-ly. (so, field is huge with soft cushy low green all around)

[Jeff D]

Will shoot for Sat. Currently camperLESS . In for repairs. Sorry Gunny.....

[Tom M]
