Friday 28 June Flying

[Michael Palmer]

Good afternoon everyone,

Tomorrow looks like it would be a decent training day in the morning.  If there are enough key player commitments this evening before say 9pm, I would like to propose a 9am start.

I will fly the tow plane, wing run, or solo.

Trigg will solo, wing run, or possibly do a lesson.

Brynn may be able to do a lesson or two as a student.

We would need a GSO, perhaps another tow pilot, perhaps an instructor, and maybe others who want to do some flying.

I’m only able to be there until 12 or 1230, so it isn’t a long day unless someone wants to stay later, but that should give at least 2 or 3 hours of flying if someone wants to give it a go.

Without a senior member to oversee operations, I would be reluctant to try and orchestrate this on my own, but if someone steps up tonight I will do my part tomorrow morning.  Mike Palmer

I can be there at 9:00 am for some training flights.

[John Scott]

I can be there from 10:00 until 16:00.

[Michael Palmer]

OK, I am going to get there around 930 to get the Pawnee ready and hopefully start flying around 10.  Trigg will probably be with me and will help with getting at least one 2-33 out for training.

My emails are generally not going out.  Mike Palmer and myself have decided to curtail activities for today.  Hopefully better gliding weather tomorrow, see you then.

Ratnavel,You are absolutely correct! It seems my sense of the weather was lacking. Looks like another miss for flying today. I don’t think it will dry up early enough for me to make this work. The weekend still looks good, so I will officially cancel for today and hope to see you all on Saturday morning. Mike

[Greg Palmer]

Was out at the field briefly Wednesday, pretty much everything needs mowed.If you’re going to fly Saturday, consider showing up 2-4 hours before operations to mow the Tie-Down areas and the runway.

[Don Grillo]

Yes we are flying
