Pizza at the field!

The Association is sponsoring a pizza party at the air field for the girls youth soccer team we are sponsoring this year, Saturday, October 15th at 11:00 AM.  The team consists of seven girls ages 4 and 5.  All the players and their families are invited.  We plan on having pizza around 11:00 and would like to have some flight demonstrations for all who attend. It would be great if you could stop by for a bit, have some pizza, and fly for our guests.

Please let Mark M. know if you will be able to attend so he can order enough pizza.

2016 Association Photo

Here it is again- the end of another great flying season. We have new experiences and friends to fondly remember as the days grow colder and the leaves begin to fall. Thank you to the members that made it out Sunday for the 2016 Association Photo:

MRFA would like to thank photographer Thomas Andrew [imagebythomasandrew@yahoo.com - 937-408-5810] for generously donating his time and skill to photograph the association. We will be posting more of his photos from picture day in the coming week.

Group Picture Day

Members- THIS SATURDAY, OCT. 8th at 6:00 PM we will be taking a GROUP PHOTO of the 2016 membership.

PLEASE ATTEND- SHOW OFF YOUR CLUB PRIDE AND BRING YOUR BEST MODEL FOR THE PHOTO.

Late Summer at MRFA

The die-hard fliers have been out at MRFA getting flight time in before the big chill of Fall hits. Check out some of the birds that have been buzzing around the field:

Dick's Supersportster laying down a smoke trail.

Rob's Aircruiser 25- one fast little ol' bugger!

And David...well...he put his Edge 540 down just a wee bit from the runway. Just a tad!

Come on out and join the fun before the days are short and the winds are cold and wet!
