WAMS Spring SLAM
Posted: Fri Apr 12, 2013 2:21 pm
Next up on the North Texas Combat Calendar is the WAMS Spring SLAM on Saturday, April 20th.
We'll fly 10 rounds of SSC or however many we can fit in before we run out of airplanes and time.
The field is a coastal Bermuda grass hayfield. It is not known if the grass will be high or low, but either way, it will work out. There are also some "water hazards" and a vicious "attack Llama" in the next field...
It's a little bit tricky to find, but everyone who is coming from East of Weatherford (pretty much everyone) needs to eventually get on to I-30 or I-20 westbound (whichever is easier for you) and just start driving West. Eventually, about 10 miles West of Ft Worth, I-30 and I-20 will merge and I-20 will be the surviving highway. Take exit #408 (South Main Street, Tin Top Road). Proceed West along the service road and cross South Main Street. Continue West along the service road to the next street and turn Left (South) on to Tin Top Road. There is a Home Depot on the right.
The field is located 3.9 miles south of Interstate 20 on Tin Top Road.
Our flying field is located in a hay field behind a residence:
Dan Zaugg Field, 3891 Tin Top Road, Weatherford, TX 76087. Look for the address on the mailbox. There will also be a white 24" x 18" sign in the yard that says "WAMS RC Flying Field". Turn into the driveway and stay left of the house. You'll see a dirt road ahead of you. Follow the road to the end. The parking lot and pit area is just east of the gas well pad.
GPS Location: 32.6740 N 97.7868 W Elevation: 997 ft
DO NOT SPEED!!!! The DPS regularly patrols Tin Top Road and loves to give out tickets. Guess how I know
. The speed limit is 40 mph. Don't Speed.
