Falcon RV Squadron-Falcon Field, Peachtree City,Ga
At Peachtree City, Georgia we have the Falcon RV Squadron. It is an informal group that centers its activities around Hangar D-30 which has a large red-lettered sign above it that says appropriately enough, 'Falcon RV Squadron' and is too conveniently located behind Aircraft Spruce.
We have weekly luncheons on Tuesdays at 11:30 at Mellow Mushroom Pizza in Peachtree City. There is a weekly update email that attempts to share project updates and pix. We have our own shirts, hats, decals, and patches. Occasionally we have a cook out. We had a Christmas party with about 35 attending.
We help each other through technical and flying advice. Additionally, the group has been very supportive of a number of members going thru serious life-events. We have been trying to generate interest in a trainer since three of our members who are building RV-7's do not have a pilot's license yet. There are several A&Ps and CFI's for flight reviews and training.
Over my 50+ years of hanging around airports,airplanes, and aviators, I've seen all sorts of aviators. There are the gruff lone-rangers hiding off in an obscure corner of the airport all the way to the social gadflies that are the center of airport social life.
My opinion: aviation is safer and more fun when it is shared with like-minded folk. I would encourage all RV'ers to band together in their local areas. It's FUN!
