CSS Toy Drive, Saturday Dec. 16, 2006

cssAdmin — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 23:58:00 -0600

We're having our annual toy drive on Saturday December 16. We collect unwrapped toys for all ages and add them to the nearby fire station's toy gathering efforts. The firefighters bring a truck out to the LZ and we get to interact in a non-emergency situation. We haven't seen them much this year, which is a good thing!

Flyable or not, there will be pilots, snacks and beverages in the LZ all afternoon. See you there!

9 September 2006 - Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In

Ken Howells — Sat, 05 Aug 2006 23:51:10 -0500

Mark your calendars

The annual Andy Jackson Memorial Fly-In is coming up Saturday, September 9, 2006 (the weekend after Labor Day).

We're gonna' wrap up the Summer with another great day of flying, Santa Ana winds permitting. We can usually count on the first weeks of September being flyable, but with the unusual weather we've had so far this season, who knows? Double D's BBQ will be cooking the grub again - burgers, dogs, and hot links this time. They did a great job at the Anniversary fly-in, so come hungry. Di says no raffle this time, but there'll be another fun contest and lots of music and pilots, friends and family.

Thanks to all who helped out and all who participated!

After Flight Chow-down: Great day of flying, and fun party at the L.Z. - Brian RicheyThe day had pretty darn good conditions, varying from booming mid-day to light mid-afternoon when the sun was behind an alto-strat layer for an hour, to very bouyant and glassy late in the day. We have some images from the day and links to pilot reports and contest results here. Post your thoughts on the day in the pilot reports or events sections of the forum - we'll add links here, and if you have images either post them to the Image Galleries or send them to , with caption and credit if you can, and we'll post them for you.
