8/22 Weed Spraying

Posted on
FYI… we have a contractor that will be spraying the fields on 8/22 beginning at 7:30 am.  They will start at the East field and work west.
 
They have asked that there be no flying while they are spraying.  However, after they are done and vacated an area, that field will be open.
 
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Saturday 8/16 work party & field closure

Posted on
AAM members,
 
We are in need of help on a work party this Saturday.  The more people show up, the faster the work will go.  Please consider helping out if you are able.  The field will be closed to flying while the work is progressing so let’s get it done and get back to flying! 
 
Message below from Larry Barnes, our Field Marshall

We are scheduled to have a organized work party Saturday 8/16th. We will be starting at 7:00 am and hopefully be completed by 10:am. I have a complete agenda completed so that we can be completed by 10 or 11. I am in need of a generator if you have one or know where ours is located that would be great.  We will have some people from Jeffco to work also. The problem is we won’t know how many bodies we will get. I am concentrating on painting where needed the most.

Work party canceled due to wet conditions

6/6/2025 Update: Work party canceled due to wet conditions

Members,

We still have a little Spring cleaning and fix-up to do.  Weather being what it’s been, we’re running a little behind, but better late than never.
 
Larry would like to do bench painting (mainly just tops) and repair, much as we did last year.  We will also pull weeds and do general clean-up at all 3 fields.  Flying will be suspended until work is completed.
 
Please arrive early (i.e. before 8 am).  Work will be completed from 8 am to approximately 10 am.  Bring plenty of water, gloves, small tools (for bench repair) and maybe a rake or shovel.  All other tools and painting stuff will be supplied.  There may also be some donuts!
 
YOUR COOPERATION AND SUPPORT ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
 
Joe Pirozzoli OBO Larry Barnes, AAM Field Marshall
 
PS… Don’t forget to bring something to fly as well.
