MMRCA - July 06, 2002 - Trip to Sturgeon

Photos and commentary by Andy Steere.

These are pictures from July 6th, 2002 when I went up to the Sturgeon RC field, just north of Sturgeon Missouri, on an invitation from Steve Forrest. The rain chased us away and I didn't take many pictures.

Hot day, thunderstorms popping up, east wind. East-west runway worked well today. Very nice field they have up here... nice flat runway with little in the way of obstructions (just corn).

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)

Another clip of Steve's P-40.
320x240 - 15 seconds - (AVI 0.9MB) (MOV 4.0MB)
