“Thermal Thursday” dates for 2026 will be decided at the next annual meeting to be held in late January of 2026 a date, time and location TBD.
For 2025, we started on the last Thursday in May the 29th and ended on Thursday Sept 11th just before our last contest on October 4th a joint contest with the Circuits.
These are the officially designated “Day to Fly” each month. The intention of this is to encourage members to regularly gather for fun flying at the field. These will be perfect times for training, practice, fellowship, and to just get out and enjoy the fresh air and the great outdoors together as a club. Safety should always be upper most when flying so always bring a buddy as a spotter and incase of accident there will be a backup!
This is not to say you can’t fly other times, and we encourage our membership to make use of the field as flying and enjoying our models is the best advertising our club can get. However, by designating a specific day, we hope to that it will be an extra encouragement to get out of the shop and grab some sky on a regular basis.
So, bring a winch, bring a high-start, or bring a battery pack and your favorite plane, new plane, or anything in-between. Let’s fill the sky on “Thermal Thursdays” and reinforce our friendships and shared love of flight between ourselves – and welcome any newcomers who follow their curiosity to the field. A club sailplane should be available for use by interested visitors!!!!! Flight Dates for Thermal Thursday’s. The dates below are for 2025 only new dates to be determined for 2026 so stay tuned.
