Thanks for the info on the Red Baron Rick. I shall set out to steal it as soon as possible. I'd love to formalize the procedures so if you or someone else at GBSC is willing to talk it over let me know. I know CSA is willing to provide the free 2,000' relight too.



After flying at Springfield for a few weeks last year I'd love to see a race there. Maybe if we all make enough waves we can make it happen.

A perfect airport for this kind of event is in Orange, MA. I talked to the airport manager over there about organizing a contest. He was very supportive the only issue identified was weekend parachuting operation. He thought something could be arranged with them for one weekend. I thought about talking to these guys but I never quite made it there. The airport has lots of space way more than Springfield and a really nice grass runway facing westerly direction. The runway is very wide too.
