Hi Mike-
Steve Jensen, Max Haynes & I arrived on scene about 0950 to find a sparse and dedicated group in chilly but calm conditions with a very high cloud deck. Not a lot of big flights, and those that went up didn’t land far away. The Atlas site experienced a cactus boom over the summer and trudging across the tundra was a bit clumsy. Steve jensen tossed up a big H in “Oops” for a successful test of his Big Red Bee, Maxwell added three flights to his credit and I had a nice flight with “F Bomb” followed up with textbook shot from the ageing war horse “Phat Killer Too” on a pilfered H152. We were done just after 1300 or so and after packing up we retired to the Bison Breath for a burger with Mr. Hinton in tow. If not for the clouds it would have been perfect conditions. The flights we witnessed were all good with one exception, the Demons were on safari elsewhere.

Thanks, Mike for a great set of photographs. Thanks, too to Doug & Sean for some fun videos.
Thanks, greg for a clean & professional presentation. Now we just have to invent something so we can do it again- too much fun, great bunch of guys. And thanks, everybody for coming. If anyone missed it and wants us to do it again we can.
I trust everybody learned something and it was fun. Ken’s really patient. It would be good if small groups of 5 – 12 people could get together to do classes on various points of interest. If anyone wants to put something together for e-bays and/or GPS classes I’m in.
No sweat. Sean serrel found it while looking for a different bird, almost a straight line south of the pads, about 100 yards north of 14. It’s in perfect shape. I’ll repack it for a nominal service charge (1 beer)… See you at the Meeting-
