Some of us have been flying for decades, some for years, and some for months. When we fly together we always learn something from one another, some pretty good stuff and some, well sometimes we learn what not to do.

We fly at three different locations around Gloucester: Magnolia Woods Soccer Fields, Good Harbor Beach Parking Lot, and the O'Mally School Track Field. Summers are spent at Magnolia Woods. Fall and Winter we can be found flying either at O'Mally School or Good Harbor Beach.


Magnolia Woods Soccer Fields Flying Rules:
NO FLYING GAS WHILE SOCCER PLAYING IS ACTIVE.
FLY ONLY ELECTRICS UNDER 2 POUNDS AND FLY THEM OVER AN AREA WHERE THERE IS NO SOCCER PLAYING.

When all fields are full it's best to fly somewhere else.

NEWS: 9/2/05 Midair Collision Over Magnolia Woods: Bob and Charlie collided over the soccer fields this afternoon. Charlie said hey Bob let's try flying formation. Bob maneuvered quickly to oblige Charlie and in doing so clipped Charlie's elevator with his wing tip. Bob was able to limp home and land safely. Charlie wasn't so lucky. His elevator pushrod came unclipped during the collision, forcing the plane to go vertical.
