How about a scavenger hunt? What you do is pick out noticable, but not obvious, ground references at different places around the area. (An old deserted farm house. Or maybe a unique rock formation. Those sort of things.) Give out a list of coordinates and clues and see how many of the references each plane comes back with. For safety reasons it's important to have at least two people in each plane. One to fly and watch for traffic, one to look for ground references. It is also a good idea to space the planes out a bit so you don't have a dozen planes flying circles in the same airspace while everyone is looking at the ground. (Someone's day could get ruined that way.) Also for safety reasons it's important to have the course flown in sequence. No "back tracking" and once a plane is back on the ground it cannot take off again. There should also be a time limit. This is all to keep traffic at each waypoint to a minimum. Work up your own set of rules to make it as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Any ideas sort of like this??? How about other "flying games"? Thanks for all your ideas!
