The Compass Rose at Quincy
In 2006 our 99s chapter painted a compass rose at Quincy. It was never maintained and after years of snow removal, etc., it was basically gone.
In March, Lynn contacted the current airport management and they were excited about having a rose repainted! Because of covid & their fiscal year we were asked to do it after July 1. So Thursday, July 16th Tom and Lynn laid out the pattern.
Just as they finished, the storm clouds loomed up and they hoped they wouldn't get rain that evening!
Friday painters were Vince & Susan Bruno [TRK EAA friends] and Tom and Lynn. We got all the white painted!
Saturday painters were the Brunos again, RHS 99 Claire Petrie, Ashley White [student pilot from Oakland living in I.V. this summer & flying with the TRK Flying Club] and Tom and Lynn.
Getting the blue done…
Tom and the Brunos laying out the tarp for the interlocking 99s pattern...Claire and Tom painted all of the nines by themselves!
Three lady pilots and the finished rose!
The finished rose from the air...50 ft. diameter it is!
