Field out Wawayanda
===================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The field in Wawayanda, New York, has now been purchased and is
available for essentially year-round Free Flight use. The Wawayanda
field (also known as the Flying Barrons Free Flight Field) is leased to
Shuback Farms for the growing and farming of commercial sod.
It is a good time of year to fly there. The Barron/Shuback sod is
recently cut. The adjoining grass fields of Ford are cut, and the
corn is short (maybe a foot high) with grass between each row.
Send This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. an email if you want to come check it out,
practice fly, or if you plan to come to a contest, such as the one
announced below.
Motorcyles and cars are permitted to assist in retrieval, restricted
to the relatively abundant farm roads. Golf carts may also be used and
they are permitted on the sod.
With 278 acres owned by Barron Field, LLC, 340 acres owned by Dean Ford
and Sons, and 200 acres owned by Robert Ford and Sons, overall these
fields (to the west of the canal) total 818 acres. [A square mile has 600+
acres.] There is comparable size on the east side of the canal, and we
have permission to use also the sod field there owned by Shuback. For
really long flights (e.g. Mulvihill), it is hard to imagine a better site
east of the Missippi, because (though cut up somewhat by trees
along the streams and canal) the fields continue for several miles to the
northeast, east, and south, with a reasonable supply of farm roads.
Moreover, this whole black dirt region of Orange County, New York is very
flat. Also there are no power lines for several miles.
The name Flying Barrons (other than reference to a certain WW-I ace)
goes back to newspaper reports on Bryton, Ella, Bebe, and Roger Barron
and their extensive travel to free-flight contests everywhere east of the
Missippi in the 1950s. Roger and his wife Gayle and present Barron flyers
Andrew, Carol, and (Bryton's Great-Grandkids) John, Peter, Timothy,
Michelle, and Julie have roles in the acquisition.
Below are directions to the field.
Also given below is the Free Flight Challenge announcement for October
28-29. The FAI portion represents a continuation of the America's Cup
contest, the Skyscraper International FAI Challenge which dates back to
1966 and has run continuously (except for a few recent years when
Galeville was lost). Affirmation of its continuing America's Cup status
is pending.
