It is definitely a labor of love to keep it going but we put on events to help support it and some other charities as well. If there is one thing pilots like to do it’s get together and tell stories. The older pilots have some great ones.

I've been into sailplanes and flying all my life as well. My Grandfather was the first pilot to ever land and take off from National Airport. He kept College Park Airport open for many years when it was broke by his generous donations and fund raising efforts. He was also one of the earliest members of The Quiet Birdmen.

There is a Twin Comanche that some collage kid keeps out at the airport. His dad has quite a collection of aircraft and I guess he get his pick. The runway is a little over 3700 feet long and the foundation is heavily overbuilt as it was originally a training post for Doolittle’s Raiders (B-25 Mitchell). It also has a drag racing history and every year we put on races in September. We had Don “Big Daddy” Garlits as the Grand Master a couple of years ago as he used to race there back in the 50’s & 60’s. It’s a small airport but lots of fun!

I’m in a flying club that we turned into a social club at an airport a friend of mine owns. We have one giant hangar dedicated to parties and music. We are putting in a good sound system and going to start doing live music. As far as the club goes it seems that most of the members who are musicians seem to be bass players….oh well….. g From: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com [mailto:newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tony Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 9:52 AM To: newmellotrongroup@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [newmellotrongroup] Dr. Strangelove Mine too, George C Scott made the movie, at least for me.
