CVRC field- April 9 2017

Yes they got lots of water this past winter. The basins are designed to be flooded and replenish the aquifer as virtually all irrigation in this part of the valley is from wells (that they are pumping like there is no tomorrow). Most of the water you see comes from a canal system that is fed from mountain sources to the east.

Yes one plane landed in the water today--a foamie. Yes it floated and was pushed to shore by the breeze.

And yes having all this water surrounding the field does have an impact on how and where you fly, especially low
