This is part 2 of the 2 part blog promised yesterday. Oh, did I mention the blogs are only related by title?

So my father-in-law is an uber RC ( remote control ) master. Few could love flying model airplanes more than this guy. He belongs to a RC club that has an arrangement with the parks system that allows every member access to one of the fields. If you want to fly your plane in that field, you need to be a member of the club.

This is for a variety of reasons, but one of the most important one is so that each remote is set to a different frequency. Otherwise one guy could take over another guy’s plane. And that would not be cool, since most airplanes require a lot of time and money to build.

Weeks ago there was a guy and a kid flying a plane in the field, standing far off the main course. Apparently, they were novice pilots and wound up losing their plane in the woods. By sheer coincidence, the president of the RC club was there as well as a park ranger as witnesses to this violation of the policy. Recognizing this stranger was not a RC member, both the president and the park ranger stormed over to inform him of the situation.

Yes, they had a plan. Only drawing closer, they discovered the interlopers were Bruce Springsteen and his son. In the end, the park ranger helped THE BOSS find the missing plane in the trees and wished him a nice day.
