Hello Sky Soaring Members,
We are all anxious to get in the air as springtime will bring some good soaring weather. However, the airfield and tiedown area need some prepping prior to flying.
Sunday, March 28 is looking like decent weather although maybe a bit chilly.
Hoping to get a work crew together starting around 9am.
- Fill the ground hog holes along the north and south side of the runway.
- Dig out the glider tiedown stakes
- Cleanup the area around the fuel pump
- Pickup trash along the creek
- Roll the runway, displaced thresholds and tiedown area
- Smooth the tire ruts near the entryway
- Assemble the Lark
Hope to see you there…

Many thanks for everyone’s help on Sunday. We got some of Don’s list completed.
– Gary “Machinist” Palumbo* finished painting the final three coats onto the Pawnee’s fabric repair. Looks great.
– Steve “Water” Snyder led a team of Mark “Rope” Reich and John “Sailor” Dudlak moving along the creek pulling out logs and trash. Actually Steve was in the middle of the creek in hip waders. This should help water flow and prevent any potential flooding.
– Don “Boss” Grillo and Jim “Brush” Hopkins removed brush along the runway.
– The burn pile was “cleaned” of all the metal (please don’t do that) and loaded up with limbs and such.
– Some rodents are on their way to eviction.
– The Lark’s tail dolly wheel was replaced with one that won’t go flat. But it was too windy to assemble it.
– General clean up. The trash gondola is full already again and it was just emptied!
Another spring work day is in the offing. Watch for it. Volunteerism is part of club life. We can’t get by without you.

I would like to thank the two dedicated volunteers who spent most of Friday working out at SKY SOARING. Andy was hard at work getting our golf carts repaired. And Petr spent the day installing night lights on the outside of the hanger. Thank you for doing this volunteer work. It is greatly appreciated by all of us.
Don

HAPPY EASTER!
Kevin,First, thanks for coming out yesterday and being a (new) active volunteer for the club.Â
You can always come out to the club at any time, look around, and find something that needs doing or play with Condor.  No one will stand in your way. Actually we encourage self-motivated activities – it’s the best way to learn flying Gliders. On weekends
during the flying season I always come out one or two days. No flying? Come on out anyway.But today, Easter Sunday, I imagine that the club will be especially quiet.Â
There will be a few people out on Tuesday for, at the very least, the Pawnee transponder check scheduled for 1pm.Best RegardsJohn DeRosa
