Show Off Your Flying Field & Web Site
I'm surprised this hasn't been done before. Let's see some pics of your flying field taken by you or one of your clubmate's AP planes.

Here is mine.

Unfortunately, we don't have a web site yet.

During our field cleanup in April I took a bunch of pictures with a digital point-and-shoot and created a few panoramic images using Autostitch.

You will note that they are very popular with many clubs, most here in Florida have them using similar design. We have noticed also a significant drop in "incidents" involving prop injuries.

One more thing that is growing here. Leaning posts at flight stations - maybe it is demographics but it keeps us OF's from getting disoriented.

Very nice Jay. Thanks for sharing. Looks like a lot of open area to fly. Great place for a field.

Frank

I added to the OP about including your web site. If your club has a web site fell free to post a link.
