From 500ft AGL, 22 teams had 4 attempts each to drop a 1lb bag of sand onto a small target on a closed runway and the winning drop was only 9ft off the center of the target! Members of Michigan Flyers had a great time during our 2024 Sand Drop Competition!!

Stories from EAA AirVenture 2019
The small town of Oshkosh, Wisconsin becomes one of the busiest aviation venues in the world each year for a period just a little more than a week. According to the statistics from EAA’s 2019 summary, the AirVenture this summer hosted more than 642,000 visitors and more than 10,000 aircraft!
The Michigan Flyers Club was well-represented this year, with 5 of our club’s airplanes making the hop across (or around) the lake to attend the EAA AirVenture 2019. Here we document the personal accounts (with pictures!) from a few of the members that got the chance to visit this year!

Up the Detroit River: A flight of three
Last Saturday, six Flyers packed into three of the club's Cessnas and took flight for a beautiful trip up the Detroit River and beyond Lake St. Clair to Port Huron. For two weeks, we'd been planning for such a weekend flight, but bad weather kept us grounded, mulling VFR charts at an Ann Arbor Coney Island.
