For those who missed it in email this week, here is the latest information about the field closing in September 2010.
BART Update:
Well gang, we tried. But the bottom line from the meeting Wednesday with the BART rep on site is that we are out at the end of this month.
It feels like there could be much said at this point but I’m not sure what that is so I’ll just stay on track with what I volunteered for.
Final clean up at the field will take place not this weekend but the following: the 25th and 26th.
We will have another dumpster on site into which we will load all remaining items including tables, chairs, lane pipe from the car track, and whatever else is left. The only real job to do which will require a generator and sawzalls, is to cut down the metal posts of the flight stations, wind socks, and flag pole. These will all go into the dumpster too. Let’s get all this done on Saturday the 25th.
If you have a generator (2,500 watt min.) that is convenient to bring to the field, let me know. Otherwise I’ll need to make arrangements myself.
I think the only thing that will be left to do is find a home for the porta potty. I think we can move that to the storage yard but we’ll need someone with a pickup to haul it.
So here we are with two weekends remaining for Bayside as a place to fly. The facilities are pretty bare but air is still just fine. Come on out for some final flights.
See you at the field.
