  • Spring Picnic June 6
  • Work Day June 26


It’s been a long cold and snow filled winter yet the sunshine has
returned to our wondrous runway. On
JUNE 6 at 10am we will be
holding the Spring Picnic where all can show off our winter
projects, make their first flight of the season, or just come out and
enjoy the food and company.  Flying will start at 10am while lunch
will be served at 12:30. To help offset some costs and add spice
to the picnic, We would ask if you’re able to bring a dish, chips, or
beverage to be shared. It is also recommend bring a canopy for
shade and a chair. And by all means, don’t forget your flying gear.
