We had a nice Sunday of flying. We had tow pilots and instructors on the field and only a few members. 12 fights in total with spring checkouts and local flying. Lift was a bit difficult to find and stay in. One flight made it to over 5000 feet.
You can count on flying every weekend as long as we have good weather. No need to send out messages asking for tow pilots and instructors for weekend flying.
During the week we will have operations when tow pilots and instructors are available on good weather soaring days. Be aware that some of us old guys need a break after flying all weekend.
The 1-26e has been assembled and is available to fly.
Lots of chores to do to get the field ready. On Saturday we purchased 100 pounds of grass seed that will be spread on the new runway section. The Ford Tractor is having some repair work done and as soon as it is completed we will spread the grass seed and then roll it will our big roller. Flight ops are avoiding the new runway by using the north or south side of the runway. Tow pilots and instructors have been briefed on this operation. We will continue to do this until the new grass seed has taken root.
The grass is growing and needs cutting. If you are checked out on the Hustler mowers we can use you during the week when no flight operations are in progress to mow. Do not mow the new grass on the new runway section.
Work will recommence on the new glider and trailer tie down area near the east hangar. Once we have more sites with anchors we can continue to assemble gliders.
That’s all the news I have for now.
