The pleasant setting at East Delta Park in Portland, Ore., is the site of the annual Jim Walker Memorial Spring Tune-up contest (a stunt flier performs on the asphalt circle, above) and other organized flying activities through the year, as well as regular informal flying sessions. In photo below, one of the Fireballs members, Scott Riese, runs the mower on the grass flying area before a contest. Leo Mehl photos.
