Xtreme Distance Qualifier at Flying Dog Farm
It’s less than two weeks to the Hyperflite Skyhoundz Xtreme Distance Qualifier at Flying Dog Farm. It’s been five years since I have had an event at the old homestead and I’m looking forward to having some disc dog guests. For those of you who don’t know about the strange place that I live, I should tell you that it is referred to as a “Fly-in Community.” That means that all of the folks who live here have airplanes on their respective properties. We’ve got Super Cubs, Staggerwings, Stearman, Extra’s, Cessna 185s, 195s, light twins, heavy twins, a bevy of experimental aircraft, as well as ultralights and sailplanes. Rather than tennis courts and swimming pools, we have as our “common area” a long grass runway that is the center of activity on sunny days. Some of us live in houses, and some of us live with our airplanes in our actual aircraft hangars. It’s a pretty cool place to live, actually.
As fate would have it, the piece of property that I live on is large enough to accommodate an Xtreme Distance event and I have worked hard on my grass — or should I say my “collection of green weeds” — to make sure it is in tip top shape for the XD Qualifier. If you can make it, please do. Weather permitting, I may roll the Super Cub out of the Hangar for a little bit of flying with my disc dog friends.
