The field is located at the old landfill- don't worry no smell. The gate has to remain locked- so if you arrive at a locked gate- your at the right place. You can also follow sign to the "Correction Facility" the field is just down the road about 1/2 mile.

That was sooo much fun!! Clintstone's heli invasion is a great an excellent fun way for us heli pilots to get together as flyers, and friends. :) If you have never been to a Heli Invasion maybe it is time you tried one. :D

Thanks Will! It was great fun. Thank your wife for the open hospitality and thank you! The food was super excellent and I am waiting for the recipe on our breakfast to show up on the "widows" forum. That meal was the ticket for me!
Alright! Joseph took a big new step! Go play boats with him now! :wink:
Later,

Guys,
I am real sad that I missed it. I had family obligations. Today I spoke with the senior club members and they said they were surprised by the turnout. They also indicated that they wished they would have known about the event so more of them chould have been there to watch the show.
They suggested that if the chopper pilots wanted to, we could schedule the field for a Heli Fun Fly. If we put it on the calendar, they would shut the field down to planks and we coud have the run of the place.
Anybody interested?

I talked to them about a heli FF in the last board of directors meeting and they were completely opposed. Who exactly did you talk to. I know all the board members but me were very opposed to the idea.
Wish you could have made it Jeff. You coming down to Mac's for the Heli Invasion, HeliFreak, Hodges Hobbies FF July 16-18?

This sucks, I have to babysit my mom and my dogs that weekend since my wife will be out of town. I may pay somebody...
As per the guys I spoke to: Carter, Wally, Dale Martel, Pat Hagen.
Will Hicks thinks its a great idea and that it should be brought up at the meeting tonight.
