Flying season has arrived in the Northwest! I\u2019m getting out and starting the busy runs of the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I attended Joe Nall Week at the Triple Tree Aerodrome in Woodruff, South Carolina. This is where we had our AMA National Membership Meeting this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the biggest flying event in the US, with approximately 1,000 registered pilots. With many different venues on which to fly anything you can bring, all flightlines were busy the whole week. There were lots of flying demonstrations and vendors selling their wares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AMA\u2019s new executive director, Tyler Dobbs, was there meeting members and even got a chance to fly a bit on the float-flying flightline. Many different flying things were demonstrated. Pictured below are Fitz Walker and Lee Ray who flew a cradle-launch glider airplane on floats. It worked great!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightboxPictureWrap\" href=\"https:\/\/openlightbox\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-cdn.dashdigital.com\/modelaviation\/august_2025\/data\/articles\/img\/105.jpg\" alt=\"flying season has arrived\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"lightboxPictureWrap\" href=\"https:\/\/openlightbox\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-cdn.dashdigital.com\/modelaviation\/august_2025\/data\/articles\/img\/105-01.jpg\" alt=\"flying season has arrived\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next was\u00a0Weaver\u2019s Field in Othello, Washington, for Gary Weaver\u2019s annual Memorial Day fun-fly. I really like going to this field. Gary is a gracious host, and I always have a great time. He is taking up turbine jets, and I was able to get in enough flights to become current as a turbine contest director and sign off on his turbine waiver. I flew my new P-47 and my Boomerang Sprint turbine all weekend! It was great fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should try to make it to Weaver\u2019s Field; it is a wonderful place to fly.
