Lionel's Field

4 posts in this topic

I'm calling my unofficial home strip Lionel's Field, in honor of my grandpa. The field that he made, to prove up on the homestead, is dense with trees that have been growing up there since the sixties, but his legacy lives on. We have a nice, 1/2 mile trail around it, treed on both sides, which passes by the family cemetery. You can see the old field and cemetery in the pics.

First takeoff from the field. I used 300 feet of the 800 foot strip, pulling the flaps down after it just started to take off without them. The ground was still soft from the previous week of rain and windstorms, but it had firmed up a little from the previous night's frost.
