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. 

As an additional service to the club, Gene Haynes has agreed to be a field observer on Wednesday mornings through the winter starting November 1, 2009 and continuing through May 2, 2010.  He will be at the field around 8:30am on reasonable weather days.  Call him on Tuesday evening if you are not sure about the weather for the next day.
