Special Note Regarding Club-Fly Days:

The Club field rules require an observer in order to fly at the Florence airport site.  Normally, during the winter informal airport club-fly days are Sunday and Monday mornings.  From May 2 to October 31 airport club-fly days are expanded to include Wednesday and Friday mornings.  On these two additional  airport club-fly days an assigned club member will be at the field at 8:000am to provide an observer if a member wants to fly.  For 2010, John English and Russ Petersen will observe on Wednesdays, and Doug Devereaux and Gene Haynes will observe on Fridays.
