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.
Colours so we can keep an eye out?
Unfortunately it is/was camo green.
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.
check this video out of a lost plane at our field in North Bay.

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!

And he did say there was a bear near!!
