Flying - December 25, 2024
6 TEMAC members came out to fly today. It was cloudy and a bit cool (about -1C degrees), but there was essentially no wind. If you were dressed appropriately, it was comfortable. Taking off and landing in the snow was easy and fun; repeated touch-n-goes were the most fun!
Here are a few photos (more later as Andy provides them to me).
1. Felix, Loy and Andy.
2. My Seagull and David's Widgeon after a flight.
3, 4 and 5. Andy's Funtana on skis, flying over the field.
6. Kenny flying his Icon.
7. Kenny's helicopter.
8. Andy taking photos of Kenny's helicopter.
9 and 10. Kenny's helicopter.
11. Loy preparing his Icon for flight.
12. Kenny's Icon making a low pass over the field. The shadow is just perceptible.
Thank you for sharing the pictures. They look fantastic. It's now time to start throwing on some skis on some of the airplanes. Looking forward to the fun fly January 1st. Thank you!

Great photos Michael! Thank you so much. I think these are the first photos EVER of my Mini Funtana in flight. And the first photo of me taking photos while STANDING UP!!

Cheers!!

Looks great. Happy Holidays everyone!
You too, Simon. You coming out for Jan 1 if it's a nice day?
Probably not, sadly! We're hosting NYE and "Shortbread" is also in town.
I hope you do get good weather.
Does Glenn's waterbomber drop ice cubes in the winter??!
