WEEKLY FIELD MAINTENANCE

Remember, the flying field has scheduled maintenance every Tuesday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. If you want to fly during these times, come on out and assist team MCRC! Flying will be limited during these times for the safety of our maintenance crews, but the more of us that help, the smaller that window will be!
