Chili Fly 2025 Report

New Year’s Day 2025 brought promise of a good flying year. Temperature started out in the mid-20s and the winds were light- about 6 mph with a slight crosswind from the North. But the wind dropped off to 3 mph about noon. Then, to paraphrase BB King: 'The Chill Was Gone' and it was perfect. We had a nice turnout of 15 members. Bob McFadden and Leonard Baker brought homemade chili for us to enjoy and several people brought sides and goodies to share. Thanks to Leonard and Bob who got there at the butt-crack of dawn to get everything set up. There were several tents and propane heaters, so it was comfortable even in the chilly breeze.

The good news was that there were NO crashes. A couple highlights included Kris Frost flying a cargo airplane that dropped paratroopers. Al Hemphill brought his giant biplane which looked and sounded like a full scale in the air! He even coached John Macfadzean to fly it solo. Al’s big birds are always a special treat for us. Mike Mazzo brought a spectacular new flight table he had built of metal that will last forever. Maybe we could talk him into making some more! Everyone got to fly and it was great to sit and enjoy the company of good friends while gobbling up some great chili.

We did our part to appease the Gods and now the LAFFS New Year’s Chili Fly -2025 is in the history books. So, we are ready for a great flying year.
