You hit the nail on the head there Paul, I was going to join Steve for some combat aircraft evaluation today but the wind is howling. So I stopped to check the field on the way home and I am sorry to say it is in a pretty poor state.
Almost all of the main runway squelches under foot and there is standing water on at least 30% of it that cannot even be walked on. The new wider section of runway recently mowered is also a bog. Even the bottom of the taxi way is RS. And the motor bike guys have ripped 25% of the main runway to shreds
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys but I dont think the field will be OK for at least another week, probably more, and that is if it stops raining now!
The grass is at least 3 inches high and needs mowing badly but push mowers will not be able to be used for some time due to the sodden ground. Darrens mower is completely out of the question
If you wanted to drop by for a quick fly with hand launched aircfraft you could but you will need to pick your landing spot and even then it will need to be wiped down.
Large aircraft are completely out of the question.
Looks like another trip to Area 51 this weekend it you want to fly
We really need to get the field there swept as soon as possible.
Once again guys sorry to be the bearer of sad news.
