Palomar Spring Fly-in - Report

BIG THANKS TO ALL PALOMAR SPRING FLY-IN VOLUNTEERS

First off, I would like to extend a big thank you to all those that pitched in to make the SDHGPA Spring Fly-in a huge success and enjoyable event. There were too many to name, But I would like to thank some of those that stepped up for a lion share of the work.

Site Maintenance

A big thank you is extended to Bob Barry, Dave Whitehall, Bill Helliwell, Charlie Jancic, and Robin Sutton-Brown for heading out Mid Week and doing Site Maintenance in preparation for our SDHGPA Spring Fly-in. Also a big thank you is extended to Peter Hill for the use of his lawn mower.


Bob Headed out on Wed and mowed the Main LZ BBQ & tear-down areas. Dave Whitehall also went out on Wed to mow the Bail-out LZ. It took Dave 3 hours and two near death experiences to himself and the mower. The Bail-out is now in great shape!

Charlie Jancic, Robin Sutton-Brown, and Bill Helliwell headed out on Friday to take care on the Main Launch. Charlie & Robin mowed the main launch flatter areas while Bill tacked the steeper HG launch windows with his weed whacker. 

Fly-in Prep

A spectral thanks you is in order for Doug Poirier for doing all the Pre shopping; Angela Albota for helping to coordinate, and Jody Lund for helping with all the odd and ends finishing off all the planning details. Special thank you goes to Greg Hunter for making a special trip out for some of the missing items.

Then there are all those that also brought out BBQs, tables and pitched in to make it all happen. With everyone help, the Fly-in was a fantastic success!
