RE: Rant+ Bomber field
Having just completed my ninth year at Bomber Field. I say thanks to the 16 or so club members their families, and all the volunteers from other clubs that helped with the event. As for people in the pits. Ask yourself what did you do to rid the problem. I would think if all the pilots would kindly ask the spectators to stay behind the fence there wouldn't be a problem. Can't blame the club members. Those 16 folks were busy cooking, manning the flight-line, collecting money, going to the store for more water and hamburgers, working the radio impound, and announcing the pilots. I hope you get the point. I guess it is just easier to complain after the event is over, than to lend a helping hand. ARFs - I would challenge anyone that doesn't like ARFs to call your local hobby store, kit company, or kit cutter and start building. You have 51 weeks to build that quaility aircraft. Bomber Raffle - It is my understanding the person that donated a year of his time building the plane died a few years ago. Hey, if you can't afford to build a plane for yourself maybe you could step-up and build a Bomber. The Bear - Having had the opportunity to fly the Bear in 2005 I can say that is not a plane you just roll out and fly. It takes a full day just to check everthing over, fill the tanks, remove, and charge the 11 different battery packs. Everyone wants to see the Bear fly. I know I did. Mr. Weber told me he just did not feel like rolling the Bear out on Saturday. Maybe it had something to do with working on it the previous 2 days in the heat, or, I believe he is in his 80's. I hope I have his energy if I live that long. I would guess Mr. Weber wants to see the Bear fly more than anyone. One thing is for sure the Bear will be there next year because the owner of the plane was smart not to fly the plane when things just didn't feel right. B-17s - I will agree the number of B-17s at the event was down this year. If you want to see more B-17s in the air then call your favorite kit cutter and order one. I plan to order mine next week. Hope to see you on the flight line!! If you are coming to the event as a pilot just to fly your plane then go home and complain about the event then Bomber Field is not the place for you. There is so much more that goes on. It's not the planes you fly, its the people you fly with. That is why I spend part of my vacation and drive 13 to 15 hours, 855 miles to be a part of Bomber Field. To all the great people I met and talked to see you next year. I'm going to the shop to build. Thanks again. Steve Forrest

Seen a American Eagle B-24???
Bones told me he built the plane. I believe he sold it to BB Weber,not sure where it is now. It looked and flew very well.

Seen a American Eagle B-24???
I believe at the 12th annual Bomber Field fly-in (year 2000) the main grounds keeper at Bomber Field won the Best Multi Engine Award with a beautiful American Eagle B-24 modeled after the "Strawberry Bitch" I know his first name is Jack, but everyone knows him as "Bones". I am sure he can tell you all about the B-24. He lives by the fly field.
