This weekend… and beyond

[Rich Walenda]

Hello:

I am interested in a flight or two on Saturday if an op is organized.  I can also help move some of the “Hilton” floor if that project starts.

Today:  Isolated showers. Cloudy, with a high near 74. South wind around 10 mph becoming west northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Sunday:  Sunny, with a high near 82. West northwest wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.

Labor Day:  Sunny, with a high near 80. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 mph. Winds could gust as high as 10 mph.

Regards,

Rich

I will be out around 10am to do some work. I have some ground stakes to tie down the barn’s plastic floor. I think that the plastic is already
at the field.

Best Regards

Saturday was indeed a good training day and a few members took advantage of it. 14 flights total with new member Animesh leading the way, Mike Vaughn returning after 11 months off and regaining currency, Rich continuing working on his add on rating and Art giving Scenic rides to a family of 3. Due to low clouds the tows were limited to 2500MSL so the riders were each given 2 each. In the meantime the Barn was completed and the winch is now residing inside, a crew began work on the 1-34 repairs and the hanger was swept out.
