Flying Oct 30, 2010 - Western Chicago Suburbs?
Posted: Fri, Oct 29 2010, 10:22 AM
Anyone interested in flying tomorrow?
I'm planning to go flying for a few hours Saturday October 30th with my son David, somewhere in the western suburbs of Chicago, in case anyone is interested in joining us. Probably forest preserves or parks in the Lisle/Wheaton/Naperville area, although I'm open to suggestions if anyone wants to join us. Here's our "home" field, and the most likely spot unless someone else has some suggestions:

(Thank you Jeff for posting it to the maps).
The field is located just north of I-88 and is right next to the forest preserve offices, so there's easy parking & access. It's got some trees around it but is pretty big, well mowed, and nearly always deserted as it's in the middle of a little-used horse track that's part of Danada farm.
Right now, based on the wind forecast, I'm thinking late morning to early afternoon - i.e. 11 or noon to 1 or 2 pm (or maybe longer if the flying is good and my son does not get tired).
