This weekend… and beyond

[Steven Snyder]

The next 3 days are looking decent. Each one flyable and getting progressively better. Sign up now for the days of your choice so the tow pilots can make plans to support.

Let’s do this!

[Art Silverman]

I will out on Saturday.

I plan to be out this afternoon.

Saturday turned out to be a busy and productive day. In total there were 23 flights. A few guests and prospective members added to the training and personal flights of our members. A big shout out to Eric who has returned as the prodigal son. Eric did 12 tows and John Scott did 11. We had a visit from our esteemed member Paul Alexander who enjoyed a flight in the Krosno. It was great to see so much activity going on. Thanks to all for supporting your club.

So now for beyond. There is interest in Monday and the forecast looks good. Lift close to 6k at 4kts.

Sign up if you available. Tow pilots?

Tried posting this earlier. Hope this comes through.

I will try to be there.  I would like to do a x-country to poplar grove and disassemble it into dollies in my hangar.  This will enable me to do some trailer modifications

Well, today was a good day. Maybe not as good as forecast but a good all around. Most, but not all of the grass is mowed. Work needs to be done around the tiedowns. The following were present and accounted for. Lincoln, Slocum, Legenza (plus Pete as always helpful), Hurd, Nicolae, John Scott always willing to tow, and myself. Times varied from 9 mins to 3:47 (never guess who that was). 4 additional were over 1 hour with Nick just scratching the 2 hour mark in the 1-26. Altogether 9 flights. Special mention to JimBob for attempting to fly his 1-26 back to Poplar Grove. Alas, it was not to be. Stay tuned for more. As a result we had a Schweizer reunion gaggle at one point with 2 1-26s and the 1-34. Video to follow. We were also joined by the Ventus and a 737 at one point.

Tried to post this. Maybe this will work.

 

Sunday 25 July.

 

Sky Sight has upgraded the forecast to show 4kts of lift up to 8500ft.

Any interest? Any towpilots?

Monday is almost as promising.

There will be a tow pilot on Monday starting at 1100hrs.

 

John Lincoln says it will be a good day. I tend to agree.

 

Sunday was a good day for the few that came out. Petr was gone over 2.5 hours and young Paul took us to Union and back at 6k for almost 1.5hrs.

 

The grass (hay) was mowed under the open trailers. Thanks Don for towing.
