2011 Anniversary Picnic
Another anniversary picnic
celebration comes to an end.
Attendance was excellent,
food was good (a few hitches
but tasty). Flying, good
weather and friendship were
plentiful.
Thank you to
all that came, those that
brought appetizers and
deserts, all those that
stuck their hands to help.
THANK YOU! Photos by:

2011 New permanent grill
installed at field
On the weekend of June
4, 2011 the grill arrived and it was installed.
Along with the grill we purchased a couple of
picnic tables which were placed under the main
shelter. The grill is intended to be on a
"bring your own stuff" format. You want
to use it, you are responsible for the charcoal,
food, cooking utensils and cleaning after you
are done.

Fire at AMPS Silver Field
On December 24, 2010,
a fire consumed most of the grass on the
runways. Apparently the fire was started by an
FPL crew working on the North side of the field
by 168 Street. A strong wind quickly moved the
fire in our direction. Three brave members, Jose
"Red Baron" Cordero, Pablo Moscoso and Abraham
Marquez, stayed behind and contained the fire to
prevent damage to the pump house and covered
areas. The firefighters were awarded with a
certificate of appreciation and a club
embroidered shirt.Photos by:
