Title: New Year's Day Flying....2017
Post by: peabody on December 26, 2016, 02:29:36 PM: Continuing a tradition that Tom Niebuhr blames on Larry Scarinzi, I will be at the MCRC field in Ellenton, FL on January 1st to usher in 2017. If you're in the area, come join me!

The GSCB plans the same, in Lincoln Park, NJ

Bring that nasty fruitcake someone thought you would love, or stale cookies...
Great fun!

A few members will also fly at midnight Dec 31st using night lights. Here's a photo from last year with airplanes flown by Jim Cameron, Ron Anderson, and Pat Chewning:
