Sunday picnic at the flying field

Sunday we headed up to the Toledo flying field for the club's spring picnic. Maybe it was the threat of rain, but we had small turnout. The strange thing was, after one dark cloud went by, it was a great day!

The first thing I did when we got there was get the mower out and attack the runway. The club had moss killer and fertilizer put on the field. It is amazing how much it grew since Thursday when it was mowed. Vera unloaded all my planes for me while I was mowing. Just as I was finishing up people started arriving. We ended up with 11 club members there, 7 of them flew at sometime during the day. Horty cooked the hamburgers and polish hot dogs for lunch and there was some great potato salad (the best yet Len) and lots of desserts.

Rob had his Cargo flying and dropped Butterfingers candy bars and two skydivers. Bill had a similar plane and dropped Snickers candy bars.

This is the view into a trailer one of the visitors from the Thruston County Club had. With the visitors we had 15 people a lunch time. Everyone was in a good mood and I had really good time.
