Title: Lost & Found
Post by: Tom on August 02, 2013, 02:48:03 PM
I thought it might be useful to have a place to post items we lost/forgot at the field in case another member stumbles across it.

I'll start....
22" Japanese Zero lost in the beans today :( near center field about 30-40ft in.  I think.  It was hard to see after accidentally flying directly into the sun.

Thanks.

Will keep any eye out. Generally we can stumble on them looking for other planes.

So, no-one's mentioned the "TEMAC Triangle" to you Tom?

My F22 disappeared last year completely in the beans. I also lost the pilots from a Spitfire and ME109, but they magically reappeared 7 months later.

Mysterious......

Beans!!!  I wish that was all i had to worry about at NIPMAC.

What lengths we will go to retrieve our "prizes."

Wow, and here I thought that the "Cow rescue" last year was extreme.

The Grass is not only not greener but sometimes can be awfully wet.

You have to admire such dedication and commitment.

And we whine when we have corn once every five years,,,sheesh!
