Keith, I would like
your input on how to tell electric flyers about an alternate
electric field (outdoors) in the Bluffs. The YMCA has a
soccer complex with a big piece of poured concrete adjoining
it, just north and a couple of blocks east of Hurrahs'
Casino on that main drag that goes east and west to the
Casinos and the Mac.
I
just found out about it today. It seems that quite a few of
the electric flyers fly there on most nice flying days,
generally in the mornings around 9:00 to noon, and many of
them are retired guys. It is open and if you crash you
don't have a monumental task of finding and retrieving your
airplane like you do at the Omahawks field, not easy for
Seniors to find and retrieve their planes. The YMCA has no
problem with flying there as long as there isn't any
activities of theirs going on.
Just thought I would note it to you and try to get the word
around for electric flyers who would like a free alternate
field to fly out of and generally some company as well..
There is also grass if pilots would prefer that but it is
short.
Thanks,
Jud Bock

Mucho Gracious....I have joined the guys there and probably
some of the guys from Omaha close to IA might also find it
a nice place to fly. I also forgot to mention, that you
don't have to look into the sun in the mornings, as you can
fly to the North or West if you want.
Thanks again,
Jud
