HEY, I RECOGNIZE THAT GUY! Our very own Jim Henley was featured in the May 2026 issue of Model Aviation magazine! Check it out on page 50, upper-lefthand corner. This photo was taken at a local airport with Jim's 1/5-scale PT-19 in the foreground and the full-scale version behind him. Jim is an absolute master in the balsa building world, a talented instructor and one of the nicest guys in our club. We're lucky to have him! Jim Henley Academy of Model Aeronautics

MEMORIAL DAY FLIGHTS! Some strong, gusty conditions this morning, but a few very experienced pilots still gave it a go.

JIM B. caught a last-second gust on landing but saved it with some aggressive left rudder. Then he started to taxi, but the plane wasn't done flying!

JOE C. sent up his hand-built gyrocopter for a few touch and gos. Always fun to watch!

LUKE H. did some high-speed low passes in his Avanti EDF jet -- so fast, it was hard to catch on camera!

ETHAN H. and a friend nailed a floaty, high-wind landing in an Apprentice.

CASEY V. ripped around the field with some high-precision 3D flying in his large-scale Edge.

Thanks to all who made it out!

A HUGE thank you to the Omahawks club spouses and members who helped make this year's Memorial Day event a big success! You guys are awesome and did a fantastic job!!

The air was a little spicy this morning, but a few brave pilots decided to go for it. We have video evidence... to be shared soon!

MEMORIAL DAY AT HAWK FIELD! 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. A little breezy but otherwise very nice. Members, come on out for breakfast and flying!

FRIENDLY REMINDER: The annual Memorial Day Egg Burn is this MONDAY, MAY 25, AT HAWK FIELD, FROM 9 A.M. TO 11 A.M. The weather that day looks really good!

This year, several Omahawks club spouses have very generously agreed to handle meal prep for this popular event. We'll have egg casseroles, pancakes, bacon, sausages and lots of other good stuff. So come hungry! Bring family members. You don't need to bring any food yourself, just something to fly! Should be a good time. Thank you again to everyone who is helping to make this happen!

Members! The stairs at Hawk Field are going to get refurbished as part of a local Eagle Scout project. The project organizer, Ethan B., is raising money to help pay for materials. If you'd like to donate, check out the link below.

ALSO: The runway crack-filling has been moved to TOMORROW (FRIDAY, MAY 15), starting around 9:30 a.m., due to crew availability. So you're welcome to use the field today if you like, though it's a little windy!

Due to those high winds, we aren't doing Training Night tonight.

I am raising funds for my Eagle Scout project, which is to refurbish the st… Ethan Brockman needs your support for Refurbishing Stairs for Eagle Scout Project

Members:

We just got a call from our contractor about filling in the runway cracks. It sounds like they're going to try to do this work TOMORROW MORNING, possibly around 8 a.m. (we won't know the exact time until tomorrow).

Obviously, the runway will be closed at that time. It hopefully shouldn't take long, and it may take a little while to cure. Apologies for the late notice.

We'll keep you posted. Thanks for your understanding!

FIRST FLIGHTS OF 2026!

Thanks to everyone who braved this morning's chilly temperatures! We had a great turnout and a very nice brunch afterward. Also, KETV NewsWatch 7 swung by to cover the event! That story should air on tonight's newscasts, barring any unforseen developments.

We also welcomed a new member who hasn't flown in a few years, but "caught the bug" again after just one refresher flight this morning!

For the record, the first flights of 2026 were:

First Flight Overall: Jim H.
First Hand-Launch Flight: Don D.
First EDF Jet Flight: Skip B.
No glow flights yet!
