Flying is not permitted while the field is being mowed. It’s preferable, weather permitting, to mow on Thursday or Friday so that the field is in good shape for the weekend and so that mowing doesn’t interfere excessively with flying activities. You can trade mowing dates with other members as necessary but try to let your mowing partner and the club officers know ahead of time so that everyone knows what to expect and schedules can be adjusted. If you have trouble or concerns with the mowers contact the club officers.

Flying Hillbillies Night Float Fly
2023-06-17 16:00 - 23:00 | Ridenour Lake, Ridenour Park Ln, Nitro, WV, 25143, United States
Many of you might have heard that we held a night float fly in October of 2022. Well now, this was met with some skepticism and thoughts of total carnage, but things went quite smoothly and was all kinds of fun. We had about 15 folks show up including 4 night float fly plane’s and 4 brave souls to try this out.

This was so much fun; we’ve decided to do this again. Mark your calendar for June is going to be a Month of Fun and Frolic.

We’re going to have another Night Float fly Saturday June 17th starting at 4pm at Ridnour Lake by the Gazebo. There will be plenty of daylight for daytime float flying followed by Night float flying for those that are brave enough.

There will be a float flying trainer on hand for beginners, kids, spectators, or anyone that wants to try flying. We’ll also have some boats on hand for some fun and frolic closer to the ground..

Dinner will be served at 6pm, including beverages.
