On March 11th, 2006 the AMPS held an event called
the Fly, Dine and Stargaze. As the name implies, the
idea was to fly a little, eat dinner and when
the sun went down watch the moon and the stars.
That is exactly what we did, several members brought
their planes and helicopters and we flew for the
better part of the afternoon. Among others, Nick
Capone brought one of his war birds and flew it
several times, dropping bombs and all. Sam Matos and
Herminio Perez brought a contingent of electric
planes to delight everyone present. Tim Khan did a
fantastic demonstration of flight with his electric
helicopter. Around 5:30 PM we fired the cooking
equipment and fed the masses with hamburgers, hot dogs
and chicken. The food was excellent and everyone was
satisfied.
To top it all, The Southern Cross Astronomical
Society brought several telescopes to the field. We
even watch the sun through a telescope equipped with
very sophisticated filters. Looking at the moon
through one of these telescopes was like being
there. Several of the members present stayed 'till
very late to watch the Orion Belt which was an
awesome sight.
