During the January 2011 club meeting, the membership voted to establish a satellite field at the current Campbell Airport and field. Campbell Field is currently an active grass field airport located in Weirwood, VA. and is situated on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, South of Exmore and Nassawadox. The field is approx. 70 miles from MARKS Field. This satellite field will give several of our current Virginia members a place to officially fly closer to their homes. Eugene West will serve as principle contact for the group.

Campbell Field is rather unique and is home to full scale airplanes, ultra-light aircraft and the Eastern Shore Hang Gliding Center. 

The fields website is www.campbellfieldairport.com Take a look to see what goes on at Campbell Field. Flyers and Aerial view of field are shown below:

Eugene West's Bearcat gets ready for September Air Show at MARKS Field

Here are some more pictures of the Bearcat build. I’m getting closer each day. I’m waiting on a pressure gauge for my retract, a MPI switch, and 4-40 bolts for my gear doors. I’ve rough in the throws on it and when I get all my parts I should be ready to CG it and work on breaking in the motor so I still have a little ways to go but I hope to have it out for are Air Show.

AUGUST WEEKEND A CAMPBELL FIELD

It was a weekend for maiden flights with John Taylor new Avistar and a Sig Kougar which was built by John from a kit. This plane really turned out to be great looking and with the new 46AX it was fast on speed. One of are newest members Bob Ayes maiden his P-51 from Great Planes and I got my hands on the control of this Mustang and what a great and fun plane to fly. What truly amazed me, which the pictures, shows Bob’s Kaos after the crash he had with the plane. He picked up all the parts that day from the plane and rebuilt it again. He had me maiden it for him and with a little trim it flew like a dream. This was a old 60 size Kaos and its great to have it flying again. William Richardson know to us as BJ had his Helicopter out today flying with us. He is working on a new 550 that should be ready for the airshow.
