Field Work Day on November 27

Bayside Webmaster — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 01:24:16 +0000

OK Bayside, the 27th looks to be a great day weather wise to continue with the runway installation. We got a lot done yesterday but we let mother nature rain on things today. Any and all help is a appreciated.

In case you have not been out to the new field location, here is the address: 8100 Mowry Ave. W, Newark. Follow Mowry to the end.

We will be out there by 9:00. Please join us in finishing up the runway and if we have enough help we can take care of a few more tasks.

Field Work Party November 25, 26, 27

Bayside Webmaster — Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:30:09 +0000

More work is being done on the new field and your help is needed.

We are going to have a work party November 25 through 27, or Friday, Saturday, and Sunday if needed, and big things are planned to be accomplished with the intention of having our runway surface in place by the end of the ‘party’. A lofty goal to be sure. None of the work is too difficult but there is a lot of area to cover. I’ll outline what we have planned:

Spread out two large piles of sand to fill holes.
Apply pre emergent.
Roll out the runway fabric and staple it down. Sounds easy but we are talking about 20,000 square feet and 2,000 staples.

Any and all help appreciated.

Here is what to bring:

Shovel (flat preferred)
wheel barrow
straight rake
landscape rake if you have one
the small hand crank fertilizer spreader
knee pads for the stapling process
and work gloves.

Everyone is welcome to come early but we will plan a kick-off meeting for 10:00 to get everyone on the same page. There is a chance of rain on and off through the period but we will see what we can accomplish. Also, can someone get some aerial pictures as we get this work done?

Information about and directions to the field can be found on this page.

Any questions? Contact Mike West 650-642-0503 mwest@pacificpeninsula.com

Hope to see you there.

Since some folks have been asking, we have posted information about where the new flying field is located and an approximate address on the new flying field page.

Take a look and see if this helps you locate the field during construction.

Today a group of folks went out to look at some land near the bay. Documenting that trip, Gene Langley took some photos showing a possible new flying site in Newark, CA.
