Directions to and Hotels near Barron Field

MOTORIZED VEHICHLES: In accordance with the renewed lease agreement between Barron Field, LLC (owner) and Shuback Farms, Inc (lessee), at sanctioned contests on Barron Field, participants are now permitted to drive MOTORCYCLES with caution, and at their own risk, on the edge of each strip of sod (i.e. on the sod within 3 or 4 feet of each ditch) for purposes of model retrieval, but not drive in toward the middle of a strip (so as to not harm the sod that will be harvested). This will enable you to get much closer to the model, going the last twenty five yards or so on foot to get the model, and then continuing on by bike to the next farm road. Depending on the conditions, turning the bike around on the sod may be unadvisable. Follow a method of retrieval and return that will not harm the sod. Motorcycles with wide tires are preferred. Caution: If there have been recent rains, as evidenced by the water level in the ditches, this motorcycle usage is not permitted, as the soft ground can give way, causing harm to you or to the farm. Automobiles and motorcycles are permitted on farm roads, adjacent to farm roads, and on designated grass areas, but not on commercial sod (except as noted above) and not on foot bridges. Golf carts are permitted anywhere on commercial sod or farm roads or grass areas, but not on foot bridges.

Please also note the "Skyscrapers" will have a small first aid kit to assist someone if there are any scrapes or bruises, but "First Aid" Per Se is the responsibility of each contestant!

Anyone wishing to become a "Free Flight" Contest Director can call up the form at the AMA Website! For more information on becoming a Contest Director contact and Model Aviation in general contact the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Let me know and I'll try to get a "Sit Down " with Aram to help you over the "Hurdles"

Finally, It appears there are some updates required on the AMA "Skyscraper" Roster. Some adds, and sadly some deletes. Lets all make a much greater effort to get out and fly this year-bring the kids and the grand-kids.

SEE YOU OUT THERE!
