Today, Saturday rain. Sunday doesn’t look to strong but Monday looks pretty good. SkySight predicts lift around 4 knots to 4800′ AGL. Austen and I would both like to fly if we can get an operation going. Anyone else?

Monday had great weather. Did it also have great flying? Rumor has it we have a new tow pilot!

Well it was a nice day. Started slower than forecast, wasn’t as strong as forecast, didn’t go as high as forecast but it looked very good. Several flights of an hour or more. I heard that one of the 2-33’s was up for like 3 hours. John Scott had a nice flight in the 1-34. I thermaled with him several times. Maybe we should keep it. I heard of reports of pilots getting as high a 5000′. Thanks to John O. for helping me rig and Greg Tomczyk for the derigging help. Also thank you to Don Grillo for towing. There were several flights of the 2-33’s and the Krozno before the private ships took off. Carl lead the private ships as thermal sniffer and did a very good job. That said and against Don’s advice, I still didn’t get of until 2500′. Maybe next time I’ll release at 2000′. John O. was up for an hour and Carl longer than that. I didn’t count how many flights the club had but I would guess there were at least around 20. Way to go to all who helped and flew. Thank You! It’s great to see this club work so well on a week day.

Mr. Lincoln forgot to mention he had a 5+ hour flight himself.

Also, Tim Ponsot soloed the “DJ Fred” and Austen is our latest qualified tow pilot.

Monday was a personal accomplishment for me, a PW-5 checkout & flight, on the heels of my 1-34 checkout, so I’ll brag to myself. Finally have checked out solo a-t for all club gliders except Lark. Took longer than expected, but not by lack of effort. Almost counted the Blanik L-23, but it was damaged beyond repair before i could finish. Thanks Tim, for vote of confidence & briefs.
