RSA Parade Ground Lunch-time Flyers - Page 4

I was stuck in a meeting. I don't hear giant voices where I am.

ENDEX! (End Exercise)

But I guess it's too late now to leave the building and go fly at lunch time today!

Sorry I missed it.

Bob needs a folding chair. I need ear plugs so I don't listen to Craig

...or those voices that tell you to stay inside.

Is the parade ground the field next to Redstone Fitness Center? I was out there around 11:45 flying three packs through my Trex 250 on the RFC side. Someone flew a heli on the other side and left while I was there. Looked like a 450 and very nice flying whoever it was!

Edit: Just checked the map in the first post. Yep, that's where I was.

Two about voices:

1) I was in Sears and I saw a guy wandering around aimlessly. I asked him if he heard the little voices. He looked at me really oddly. I cupped my hands around my mouth and said, "Tooooooooooooooools!"

2) One of my favorite bumper stickers is, "The little voices told me to stay home today and clean my guns!"

Sometimes Crazy Jim

Next time you come and see us over there flying under/near the shade pavilions, walk or drive over and introduce yourself. We're friendly, really!

Well, next time meet us on the other side! Bob thought it was a 250. We fly at lunch nearly every day. T3chDad is the heli pilot. I was the one flying the Sukhoi.

Welcome Pen.

Yup that was Me and Jeff (Vicarious). It looked like you can fly that 250 pretty good too! I had the Heli and a couple of 3D planes, and Jeff stuck with his Su-26 today. Feel free to come over to the other side and join us. We started going to that side a couple of weeks ago...it's much better in the shade.

Jeff, Jim, Craig and I are out there pretty much every good weather day about 1100.

Edit: Man you guys were quick on the post!

And they don't like you.

X-43 Deltastorm III maiden at 1100 today!

Edit: I guess Mother Nature isn't going to cooperate. Maybe it'll be clear by lunch time.

Details...

What is the X-43? How is it different from the other two designs?

Jim_Marconnet · Aug 27, 2009, 10:48 AM

Overly-simplified answer: Bob is another year older!

Jim

T3chDad · Aug 27, 2009, 11:13 AM

I think the weather is going to cooperate after all. See you at 1100ish.

Jim_Marconnet · Aug 27, 2009, 01:47 PM

Great lunch-time fly-in today! Light winds. Not too hot. Grass only a little bit damp from today's light rain. Shade pavilions worked great!

Bob maidened his X-43 Deltastorm III. Jeff flew his EasyStar. Matt flew his Surfer Dude. I flew my Sukhoi SU-26 and reminisced about my dearly departed Acromaster. It may or may not have died, but it certainly departed! Craig spectated and talked to people while they were flying!

I'm living vicariously through y'all.

Lucky fellas...
