The President’s Corner
It is hard to believe it’s March
already. The Mall Show static Display is scheduled for Saturday March
10, 2001.
I’ve been in regular contact with
Anna Steffen, Marketing Director for the Mall at Sierra Vista and all should
go well once again. The Mall is looking forward to having us.
During last month meeting the topic
of “flying courtesy” was brought up. It was evidently a topic of
discussion once before at a meeting prior to my assuming the duties as
your president.
Here is my take on the subject: |
Bolin
Field is a public flying field owned by the city of Sierra Vista.
Anyone who is an AMA member in good standing can fly there. (One should
also be a member of MMRCC)
There are some folks who for whatever
reason can only fly on Saturdays. There are those folks who can only fly
on weekdays. There are also folks who can fly any day of the week if they
so desire.
If one wants to fly and the frequency
pin is available they should fly. The sky is big enough to enjoyed by everyone,
regardless of skill level.
We should consider ourselves very
fortunate. We are a small club. There are some model fields in the
country where an RC Pilot must wait his / her turn to fly because there
are so many RC Pilots on the same frequency.
Full size airports do not restrict
their airspace when there are numerous pilots in the pattern…..neither
will we.
Let common sense be the rule of the
day.
Happy Flying.
