Flying at Garbrick Airport

January 12th 2006

Trial flying had started in early January as part of SCRC's search for a new flying site.  Being early January in central Pennsylvania, it had not been a good time to go flying!  Suddenly, spring arrived for a few short days!  A group of Club members took advantage of this break and met at Garbrick's airport to fly.  The temperature was in the high 50s and low 60s.  The following photos taken by George Mock give an idea of the flying activity and different views of the area.

Woody Struble, with the help of Al Jones and Curt Buergin, is flying near the center of the runway.
