      Finally looks like the weather will be improving. Friday the temperature should be around 80 and the winds calm down. This trend should hold at through Monday so if you are itching to fly sign up now so we can all be ready.

      Friday does indeed look fairly good. Any tow pilots for Friday? Saturday not quite as good but still decent. John Lincoln

      Friday was a beautiful day at 55LL however the forecast was not quite up to standards. There were 4 training flights with Andy keeping us up in the Krosno for 1 hour. Well done!

      Saturday I plan on an early start at 0900. Lift to 6k@3kts.

      Sunday 5k@2.5-3kts.

      Let’s do this!

      Well, did someone say it would be a beautiful day? Indeed it was. Started out at 10:15 and we were steady all day. A total of 13 flights, a potential new member and 3 flights over 1 hour. AND are you ready for this? Petr off and away in the PW-5 for 6:06! Oh, by the way, Rich. A couple of pilots reported reaching 6k plus. Just needed to wait it out for the lift to mature. Rumor has it a strange looking flying machine made an appearance. Something called Bravo 2 and it made a noise like an angry mosquito. There is supposed to be film of this Loch Ness coming out of the corn. Really?

      Thanks to Don for towing and Tim for instructing.

      Now, about Sunday. Lift to 5k@3kts, light winds and Hmmm there was something else going on. Well, you will just have to show up and find out.

      That’s all for now but stay tuned for updates.

      Thanks for the update. I made it up to 4 and hung around for about 40 min. A good pilot is always learning. It was a good day.

      SUNDAY! a beautiful day at Sky Soaring. Featured attraction was Nick achieving his Private Glider Pilot Certificate. 2.5 hours of oral cross-examining and 3 flights and we have a newly minted glider pilot. First task? Take his grandfather up for a 1hr flight.  Congratulations, Nick.

      Total of 12 launches today, several for extended times. Pete Legenza served up grilled brats and dogs and everyone enjoyed the day. Not to be over looked please welcome new members father and daughter team Shane and Laurel from Monroe WI. Check out their beautiful RV12. Just right for the commute from behind the Cheddar Curtin.
