Happy Days:
This weekend was supposed to be the final Fly-In of the year on Mt Lienster (The "Big L"). So far (the final day) I've seen nothing posted, from anyone. :o :(

Can someone clue me in please?

Flamingo Flier:
Hi Keith,
Yes it has been kind of quiet - almost tumbleweed like.
I am still here occasionally but I cannot make it to Mt Leinster this weekend. Hopefully this is not another golden age that is coming to an end - I have come to realise that I am so old I have seen a couple of eras start and end. Is there anyone else out there?

Hey Jim,

Yes perhaps we will become like those who enjoy renovating steam locomotives. The era of steam power is over, but there are still those who enjoy the thrill!

I was watching a chap flying a powered model couple of months ago. He flew all around the flying ground in knife edge. Up wind, cross wind, down wind didn't seem to phase him at all. After he'd landed I went over to congratulate him. Turned out the model was being flown by some software! Hey-Ho

Is there actually anyone on the Big L today? (I need to pay my club subs)

Flamingo Flier:
Thanks Keith,
Hopefully there will be some other replies. You may have started a roll call and we can see how many say 'here'. Has everyone migrated to Facebook or some such of which we are unaware.

Have you noticed and can you explain the counter at the bottom of the main page that seems to suggest that there were way over 700 people on line this morning?

Happy Days:
As I understand it :-\, today, (and I have no idea why today is much different from any other day) at 04.58am (I don't know if that is local time or zulu) there were 782 people looking at this forum. Before then I think the max at any one time was 400 odd. Quite who these people are I have no idea but at that time of the morning I doubt they were Irish ha-ha.
