A massive explosion back in 1999 destroyed the powerhouse and killed a bunch of people. DIRECTLY across the street is the new Power station that CMS Energy built as a "replacement". And promptly staffed it with a NON-UNION workforce! Much to the chagrin of the UAW big-wigs across the street, the CMS plant is STILL proudly un-unionized!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731023544310200697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-76211447252341886012013-09-03T09:59:47.579-05:002013-09-03T09:59:47.579-05:00ScotchDave: No I can't see it.

If you ever land on one and find it's not been mowed for a while, don't even try and take off unless you like flying BETWEEN the trees at the end of the runway.<br /><br />Have a great time!Home on the Rangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836315423040719919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-52923080242522619122013-09-02T08:52:36.775-05:002013-09-02T08:52:36.775-05:00I really enjoy your flying posts...and the Murphy ...I really enjoy your flying posts...and the Murphy posts and the gun posts and... Anyway, the comment about the grass field made me chuckle.

And here's one of getting stuck in the mud https://plus.google.com/photos/102570394040427515272/albums/5650640996322861761/5650641492843212018?banner=pwa&pid=5650641492843212018&oid=102570394040427515272 . Good job not getting stuck. Getting unstuck is a LOT of work. Like Old NFO said, I hope you washed it down and made sure to wash the brakes off well. Mud can grind off your brake pads and disks. <br /><br />Post more flights!
