Calling all Virginia and North Carolina heli fliers!!!!

[LockMD]

I found this on another site and I know we have some members in that area, so I thought to share the info here.


Come join the Newport News Park Radio Control Club for the inaugural Helicopters Over Tidewater heli fun fly June 1st 2008 at the NNPRCC flying field in Newport News, Virginia. Registration starts at 8:00AM with flying starting at 9:00AM. The event is primarily a fun fly day, with a few events for pilots of all skill levels mid day.

Wow! Wish I was closer. I'm in NC but WAY over next to Tennessee so it's a LONG drive from here.

Thanks for the heads up though :)

Sounds JUST like our trip a while back to "The Outer Banks". All was good till I "Broke the bladder Seal" then it was her saying, "You gotta pee AGAIN? I just got out of the emergency lane!"

[HeliMix]

You come pick me up Al, and I'll drive your car from here. And I have a 5 gallon bucket with a lid I can bring for ya! ;)

I would go for the day if I could find someone local to ride with. My truck has 200k on it. I don't take it on trips like that anymore.

[sokal]

[sokal]

come-on mix

head down you can crash at my place and we'll feed ya

[HeliMix]

I wish I could Sokal, your offer is very generous. But I do not trust my truck on such a long trip right now and the dang gas... Heck, getting back and forth to work has cost me double now (as everyone I'm sure). I have not given up hope but the chances look slim of working something out.

Still hoping I might hear from someone in SC or around me in NC that is going and wants some help on the gas costs. If you are out there... PM me.

Sokal, I just had a great idea. Tell your superiors you need to shake down one of the heli's to check out a vibration and fly down here and pick me up. I will meet you at the speedway helipad. ;) After all, I am a tax payer and my pennies do pay for the fuel. :YeaBaby:

Don't worry HeliMix just convert your truck to electric. Build a lipo parallel in the back bed. It will save you alot of money.

[HeliMix]

Great idea! Wait... Isn't that how Lock blew up a heli? :lol:

[Gsquared08]

Nobody talked to you because you probably looked like a zombie from being up for an entire day. Either that or you forgot to put on your underarm deodorant and you were stinkin' the place up.
