As of right now the field will close on Nov. 30, 2009. We have
met with the Mayor, and the City Manager, last week. We are scheduled
to do demo and sound measurement flights on Dec. 5, 2009. These
flights will be conducted with a flight pattern to the east, over
the C/L area. The mayor, Forrest, the pilots and reps from the home
owners will be present. They will fly a jet and a large one third
scale aircraft. If that all goes well, then we will reverse the
field, until we can get relocated to a new site. The current C/L
area will be maintained, and will be available for contests. When
we hold a contest, the R/C flying will be shut down for the days
we have a contest. We will put in a temp. circle out by the road,
and run water to it for keeping the grass watered. I will require
a fair amount of work to make the changes, but we are out of options
at this point. We are also looking at a couple of other alternate
sites. Our man focus is still on the site west of the landfill.
Con Agra, who owns the property has not responded back to offers
that have been made on the property. If we have any new news, I
will let you know.
Regards, Doug.

This was the first control line contest I ever attended. This contest
brought me back into the hobby since my childhood days. At the time, I
did not know anyone in this video, if you recognize yourself back then,
make no comment to this video clip on Youtube.

My
name is Heman Lee. I met Bill Osborne in 1997 and was amazed in
his efforts to mentor the next generation in this great hobby. This
web site is dedicated to Bill Osborne, who
founded the Bill Osborne Model Airplane Flying
Field in Alameda, Bill
designed this model as a trainer for his youth modeling program. He
has allowed me to share this Platter design with all of you on the Internet.
I would appreciate any Platter stories and picture you have. Please
Email or send them to me so I can share them with others on the internet.
Bill
passes away in 2003 and I hope to honor his legancy with this web page.
