A
group of us Cobras modelers went to Indoor Flying at the
Community of Christ Church Gym Thursday morning " June 198,
2008" and then to Lansky's for lunch like we usually do.
After lunch we went to the Council Bluffs Airport to see the
American Barnstormers. It was very interesting seeing
the restored planes and watching them fly. They were
also giving rides for $50.00 dollars and Galen Lilethourup
went for a ride in a 1929 Travel Air 4000 Biplane.
Some of the R/C flyers that made the trip the
Council Bluffs Airport where Larry
Puls, Galen Lilethourup, Keith Paskewitz, George Eheman,
Fred Tuckerman and his three children.

The Cobras R/C
Club is made up of a friendly and helpful group of people. We have a large
grass field that is well maintained
and is large enough to take off and land either North/South or East/West.
Not only that but there is nothing to run into when you are flying. It’s
all level open ground. We have a map to
the field so that you will be able to find your way. The Cobras Field
is on the west side of I-29 South of the Bellevue exit. All but the last
couple of miles or so are hard surface roads. We also have posted on the
Field the emergency number to give to
the 911 operator so that the emergency unit can quickly find the Field.
That number is 54802. It could be very important if someone had a heart
attack or other serious problem. The
SWIFT Glider club members are
also members of the Cobras club and there membership has added to the size
of the club which has helped to bring in enough money to pay the cost for
rent and upkeep of the field. President Larry Puls cooks great Brats and
other goodies for many of the Fun Flys etc. so be sure to come out to the
Field and enjoy the food, flying and camaraderie. If you would like to
show everyone your newest creation, that took so much work to build, then
bring it to the Cobras Meeting for show and
tell. The meetings are the first Wednesday of the month. In January we
combine the meeting with dinner at the Holliday Party. If you wish
to join the Cobras download an
application form.
