We had a beautiful morning of flying after Saturday’s meeting. It sure is nice to see everyone enjoying the weather and finally taking the planes out of winter storage. Hopefully this is just the one of many great weekends of flying to come this summer. Many different types of planes were flown this past Saturday. We got to enjoy a great air show put on by Mort and a little combat by Mike, Aaron, Rich and Bill. And no, Rich did not get hit in combat, he gently landed in the corn field all by his self!

Today after the meeting Brian Harvey did a few flights on his E-Flite Apprentice with Mike and Bob on the buddy box. After successfully landing a few times it was decided he was ready.

With a great hand launch from Dave the Apprentice was away with Brian at the controls and no buddy box. Four minutes later a great landing for what is now his first solo flight.

Great job Brian!
