2018 Snow Fly
Saturday, January 20
Click Here to see the Flyer for this event
12-3pm - PMAC’s White Lake Field
Warm cloths, hearty folks with smiles to chase the winter blues away & hot food and beverages to keep your fingers warm!
The 2018 Snow Fly will be remembered as a winter fly with perfect weather conditions and a great turn out of members who spent much of the the day visiting and flying. There were about 20 pilots and spectators who enjoyed the 43 degree temps, calm winds and full sun, all day. A great break amongst all the dreary days and record cold leading up to the event. John Glenn kept the Sloppy Joe’s and hot coco flowing too as members and visiting pilots from Skymasters took turns going to and from the barn for food and drinks and the flight line. All in all a great way to beat the winter blues with fellow club mates and visitors alike. Thanks to John Glenn, Shawn Peterson, Steve and Mary Seltmann and all who participated in this event!

Report
2018 Ice Fly
The Ice Fly is an event that has many additional factors than most that contribute to its success or cancellation. For 2018 all those factors were in our favor and was most likely one of the best event of its kind ever for PMAC. With approximately 25 pilots and around as many boat club members and spectators from the surrounding neighborhoods looking on, Pilots spent much of the day in the air. There were jet formation flights, experiments with floats, wheels, Skid styles and hover type landings all on display as well as some very good but also safe flying as well. The weather was so perfect many began to fly before the 12noon start time and continued well after the 4 pm stop time. Just a perfect day on the ice with friends and visiting members from Skymasters coupled with great clubhouse hospitality and comfort from the Sylvan Lake Boat Club and it’s members. Thanks to all who participated and a special thank you to John Glenn and Demaree Hoover for the great homemade Chili that kept us going for much of the day and to Tom Kindig for once again coordinating this event. See you next year!
Breeze in the beard ~ 2017 “New Member of the Year” Shawn Baker...flying, flying flying!
These types of Electrics worked well this day.
Tom Bukowski was the hero of the day by flying a glow powered cub and his first time float flying experience ever. After a lot of online speculation and commentary all was put to rest handily with his first successful test flight that day.
Nice enough day for knitting!

Warm clubhouse, hot coco and chili dogs.
Almost dead calm for much of the day, about 15 mph towards late afternoon.
