Flying Field Status:
-
First Quality
Jim Farley reported that he had spoken to Tommy Dunn,
Chairman of the Anderson County Council, regarding the
status of our flying field and First Quality.
Mr. Dunn in tern spoke with one of the
County
Administrators who indicated
that to his knowledge First Quality still intended to
provide us with a location on their property.
He indicated that First Quality may have run into a
problem with the Corps of Engineers regarding the cutting of
trees where we were going to fly as it was deemed to be
marsh land.
-
Center Rock
George Estes reported that he looked at the hay field behind
the Center Rock Fire Department and believed that it could
be used as a flying field with a minimum amount of
improvements. He
also spoke to the owner of the property, Duffy Cochran, who
indicated that he might be willing to lease a few acres for
use as parking and a landing strip.
However, he was also in discussions with a group of
hunters that were interested in leasing the field for dove
hunting and was not sure how they would react to us using it
as a flying field.
George wanted to gage the Clubs interest in this location
before he spoke to the owner again.
The consensus was that there was an interest but we
need to better understand 1) the status of the First Quality
commitment and time frame associated with that commitment,
2) the approximate cost of the lease and 3) before the Club
committed to a lease there should be a budget prepared so
that everyone understood the affect on the Clubs finances
and dues.
