At 31.0 feet, the hangar at the north end of Smartt begins to flood (but not our hangar).
At 32.0 feet, the runways and hangars are all flooded.

There was no snow, sleet, or ice on April 5, 2008. The Christmas party took place as scheduled. There is a link to photos of the awards presentation on the Photo Gallery page, or you can click here to directly navigate to them.

The 2008 Hangar Dance is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th. Scott AFB will be having an Air Show that same weekend (Saturday and Sunday). We will have the PX set up at Scott on Friday the 19th. We will have the B-25 & TBM at the Air Show, bring them back to Smartt Field for the Hangar Dance Saturday evening (perhaps an arrival show with Dance attendees on the ramp) and fly them back to Scott Sunday morning. Please plan on helping the Wing out during this busy weekend. We can support both the Dance and Air Show if we get strong participation from our members. Come join the fun and help your fellow members the third weekend in September!

Messerschmitt ME-109 Status
It
has been determined that the sole owner of the ME-109 is a gentleman
living in Florida. Access to the aircraft is still restricted and any
removal of the aircraft or parts is prohibited unless authorized by me,
the Wing
Leader. The aircraft will remain hangared until the owner
makes a final decision as to its movement/sale. Please enjoy viewing it
and be careful not to disturb its present condition. Thank you.
