Summer Campfire Nights

How you bastards get away with flying and hanging with your buddies on mothers day weekend is what I want to know?

Moms are out of town, we have no kids.

The wx is going to be very nice 84 but...looks like 10-15 MPH wind ENE so check the wind sock and read the earlier post about landing. The strip is 7-25

Come on guys, lets play

G'Day...Rob

I'll plan on getting to Sandy River close to 5PM Saturday. Light till 8:30 so we could hit a strip or two.

I'm headed to the airport now to change the M7 oil and put in a fresh set of spark plugs. I already have 110 hours on the overhauled 540. Then take the wife to brunch at Mulino, Independence, or Salem. Where ever she wants to go.

Hope to see a gaggle of you at Sandy River later. Looks like east wind. I'll be by the iPhone.

[OregonMaule]

All righty then. Got the oil changed and new spark plugs in. She is running great. Down here at Independence having brunch wit the wife. I will stop by Sandy River on the way home. Got to check rudderbash's mow job.

I'll be there about 7:15pm. The plan is to camp, right? Gonna bring some weiners and beer.

[OregonMaule]

Yes camp. I am here now. Beautiful. x10

This is one of those you should have been there moments. There was a small amount of people. What we lacked in numbers we made up for with pure flying fun. Flew the pattern till after sunset. Wait till you see the video. Rick, Harley, Zane, Erin, Jamin, Paul , John, Arty, Eric, Brian and Christina came, saw and had a few adult beverages around the camp fire. A BIG THANKS to Rudderbash and the Hoffmans AKA Gold Rush family, for letting us use your wonderful airport.

It was close to 79* for a high and down last night to 52* it doesn't get better than that.

I got to fly and land a Sport Cub as an added bonus. I greased too.

Now it is time to pick up and head to the Flying M for breakfast.

[rudderbash]

I hope you guys had fun

I wanted to come, but I just couldn't pull it off. You may see Bryan and the flying M. I did make it to Pacific City for breakfast on Saturday. 17 planes on the ground there.

Them bird strikes make a mess. Good thing it was a little bird.

Evening flying is the best. This was 7:20pm, so much light out and the wind had settled down.




Nightime contrails.


We had some exotic metals combusting in here, not sure what makes teal flames.






Hot enough to fry a frog. It was only 80 F today, I don't think I could live anywhere warmer than this.


Fun time and an awesome facility. Thanks Rudderbash for setting us up. Next time we announce one of these, ya'll better show up for the night!

I've heard of people frying frog's legs for supper, but leave it to someone from Portlandia to fry the whole frog. How was it? And how many of them did it take to feed the whole crew?
