Looking like a nice day Saturday although blue. Temps in the 88 to 89 degree range. Winds west at 8 to 10 knots and lift to 4.5 knots up to 6,100 feet AGL. We’ll see. I’m hoping to get in a flight with John Osborn in the Krosno. Booked it from 1:00 to 2:30. If there’s a waiting list we’ll cut it short. Hoping there will be a tow pilot, wing runner and GSO on Saturday. John Lincoln

Hello: Passing by the field Friday afternoon. Gate is wide open – no one around. I checked the area and then locked the gate.

Hello:
12 flights today! A nice Saturday. Glider Pilots were: Dave Winters, Kees, Petr F., John Osborn/John Lincoln, John Scott, Rich, Daniel Spenser, Andy C., and Andrea Scott. Towing by Nick and CFI work by Don Grillo. GSO by Rich. Several golf cart retrieves by Mr. Phalen and everyone assisted in Wing Running. Thanks!
Gliders used were: Pumpkin, one 1-26, Krosno, PW5 and Petr’s blue wonder. Most tows were to 3,000. The longest flight was 2 hours by team Osborn/Lincoln in the Krosno. The next highest were about an hour and half by Kees in the PW5 and Petr in his own ship. John Scott had almost an hour in the 1-34. My 1-26 flight was 20 minutes – they must have used up the lift before I got there. Everyone drank water (by the way the refrigerator is not that cold…).
Slowly the summer is ending. Labor day will be here soon. We need to try to get a few more operations going. Also, if you do an operation during the week please post a recap so we know what we missed and it may entice some of us to take a day off and fly during the week.
According to AOPA and General Aviation News, 80% of student pilots drop out of training each year before receiving their pilot certificate. Lets fix that and also lets have our certificated pilots fly often to stay current and proficient.
Have a nice weekend!
Regards,
Rich
