aero-bowling would you like to give it a try?

[Gilan]

If you like bowling then you may like to try aero-bowling. We are adding a
new event to our annual Fly-in.
Along with our usual events such as dead stick landing and bomb drop we are
having aero-bowling this year. I have watched some folks try it and it is
very challenging as well as funny to see how far off some people get with
the balls.

Try balloon popping. That's pretty fun too.

Morbide guess...

You take 10 small planes flying in close formation. The player then uses a
cannon to try and shoot as many down with a bowling ball as he can. Each
player takes two shots. Parts flying off one plane and taking down another
is OK. Bonus points for all down in a single shot..

How about teddy-bear skydiving? Get a teddy bear, make a parachute,
and do a drop. The "jump ship" who gets the teddy bear closest to the
designated drop zone target (with an open parachute!) wins.

Must be a hell of a ball return.

I flew my tripacer for that event at our annual aviation festival a couple
of weeks ago. Got a chute caught on the tailbrace wire. Wasn't a fun
experience. Fortunately, it shredded by the time I got partway down the
downwind leg adn we had an uneventful landing. Neede to rig them with more
of a delay and have a better delivery system.

Be careful out there.

At the local hamfests there used to be a guy who had hundreds of army green cans
marked "parachute, feline". Cat parachutes.

want another chance at aero-bowling? The annual Gator Fly-in had to be
rescheduled because of unsafe 30mph wind gusts. The new Fly-in date is 13
December. The weather is beautiful here in central Florida.
