Resurfacing the field at BMF

Harrison County has undertaken a partial resurfacing of our landing field at Bob Miller Field. They are doing one section now and will hopefully do the other end in a couple of years. This is a wonderful compromise that allowed us to get our field much needed repairs while staying within county budget constraints. We are grateful to Harrison County Parks and Rec for making these efforts and giving us a great field! I stopped by and took a few pics of the work in progress. It is expected to be completed within a couple days!


View to the northeast from the clubhouse.



A bit to the right of the first pic...



Continuing right, mid field.



Continuing right towards the southeast.



Panoramic from the clubhouse looking to the east.



View from the road along the north end to the south.



Right down the middle of the runway.



From the road, to the right of the midline, looking back to the clubhouse.

Can't wait to see the end product. The piles of dark dirt along the edges is the "grass" that was tilled up. It will be spread over the top and smoothed hard. The original "grass" will regrow from it, but that will take several days to a couple of weeks, but the field will be flyable, hopefully in the next couple of days. It is going to look awesome for our Fly-In on Oct 15th!
