Southern Air Fall 2006 Funfly

November 4th, 2006

What began as a chilly start turned into a beautiful day of flying for members and guests of our 9th Annual Fall Flyin. We had 30 pilots from as far away as Roanoke Rapids and quite a few spectators.
It was a joy for me to CD and MC the event.

I was the first to arrive and found the field looking as if it had snowed. The morning frost quickly burned away and made way for a nice day of flying.
As can been seen here, the field was in excellent shape and except for a light breeze that kept the chill in the air it could not have been a nicer day.
Check out the sky!

The impound was in good hands. No frequency mishaps.
Keith Grubbs, owner of the Hobby House in New Bern, not only helped with prizes he seemed to enjoy cheffing for us to.
I'm sorry. The grill looked so good I took two shots.
And the eating wasn't bad either.
