        Wednesday wrap up.
        7 flights today, all in the Lark.
        Strong west winds all day. We had a 1 hour delay when winds gusted out of limits.
        The strong winds were good experience for students and instructors.
        Kase and Grillo provided the tows.

      Wednesday Recap…
      Yesterday we flew the Lark on aerotow on a sunny day with slowly developing
      clouds…
      
      We had (at least) seven flights that included 6 different CFI’S at one end
      of the rope or the other including; Don Grillo, Larry Kase, Michael Vaughn,
      Steve Snyder, Tim Ponsot and John Baker.
      
      There were instructional flights, CAP Annual Form 5 Check Flights and a bit
      of thermaling including getting 600 feet above release height and having a
      30 minute flight off a 2,000 ft tow.
      
      The wind direction was right down the runway, and it provided good practice
      for tightening up the pattern for a headwind on final that was a bit
      stronger then usual…
      
      It made for a nice relaxing way to play hooky from an afternoon of work…
      
      Thank you to those who came out and mowed and helped out around the field.
      -Thanks again, John
