2011 Float Fly

2011 18th Annual BSMAA Float Fly

A little bit of floating and lot of flying is taking place at the Comanche Trail Lake.
Saturday morning, members of the Big Spring Model Aircraft Association took their planes out to the lake in anticipation of having some fun. This weekend was the 18th Annual Don McKinney Memorial Float Fly.
“This is a great way for us to generate interest in the community and possibly gain some new members,” said John Womack, vice president of BSMAA.
The general public is invited to watch the members as they fly their planes, which are all designed to take off and land from the water, through all kinds of twists, turns and dives over the lake.
“It's a great family event and a great educational avenue,” Womack said. “Everything that pertains to these planes pertains to the real big planes.”
During the Float Fly, a brisket lunch will be served for $7 a plate for those who want to enjoy a good meal while watching the planes. Admission is free to the public and the Womack encourages the community to attend.
“This is something I grew up doing with my father and it's something I have continued to do with my son for many years,” Womack said.
Those attending are encouraged to ask any of the BSMAA members questions about the planes or the association itself. Also, to find out more information, visit bsmaa.com. Meetings are held once a month on the second Sunday. 

31st Annual BSMAA Fun Fly

2011 BSMAA Fun Fly

Photos from the 2011 BSMAA Funfly

The 31st annual Big Spring Model Aircraft Association fun fly was a huge success on Saturday.  We had a great turnout with around 20 pilots attending.  There was all kinds of aircraft being flown including helicopters and jet aircraft.  We also had a very good turnout of spectators.  I think they enjoyed not only the flying demonstrations but also the food.  Many thanks to the out of town pilots for taking time out of their schedule to come and fly and also for the new friendships that were made.  I would also like to thank Chuck, Charles and Marion for running the concession stand.  It was a very hot and sometimes thankless job but thanks to y'all, everyone stayed hydrated and fed.  Robert did a fantastic job as the CD for this event.  Every one stayed safe and I believe everyone had a good time.  The Big Spring Herald was there and wrote an article in the Sunday newspaper.  The only disappointment for the fun fly was the weather on Sunday.  It was just to windy to fly, so everyone packed up and headed home right after lunch.  I am already looking forward to next year and hope that everyone had as good of a time as I did.
