Go to the 2007 AstroWings Charity Fun Fly Photo Gallery

I also uploaded many of these photos to the AstroWings Flickr Group Pool. If you took some shots at the event go ahead and add them to the Flickr Pool or email me and I’ll get them posted.

Other stories about the Fun Fly are here and here.

Competitions will be held every Thursday evening at 5:43 pm starting on August 16th. The competition will end on the last Thursday in September. Everyone in the club is encouraged to participate.

To make this fair to members that cannot participate in every event there will be two “bys” for every person participating. If there are 7 events (assuming no rain-outs), 5 will be scored. If you have participated in every event your top 5 scores will be taken.

Points will be awarded for each event and accumulated throughout the
competition. At the end of the competition, prizes will be awarded. Prizes will be awarded to the top 4 pilots. The prizes will be a choice of the remaining items from the fun-fly pilot raffle.

The Fun Fly 2007 to benefit Special Olympics, held on August 4th, 2007, was awesome! The weather was excellent and, as always, we had a super turn out of great planes with some especially large aircraft in attendance. Of course the best thing is the money raised for the Special Olympics - Ozaukee County. To date we have donated over $80,000 to the Ozaukee County Special Olympics. Hope to see you next year!

For a taste of what the Fun Fly event was like See pictures from the AstroWings Fun Fly for Special Olympics 2006 event. It was a great day of flying at the AstroWings field! We had a lot planes and most every kind of RC plane you can imagine was there.
