I’m not available Saturday for towing. I’ll be in Beloit with Gary inspecting the Pawnee.

Who is going to fly tomorrow?

Steve Snyder is an instructor and
will be at the field, I will be out to tow or instruct if we
have multiple tow pilots.Don
Maintenance Report:
Gary and I will be getting the carburetor swap complete on the C-182 and then do a run-up to make sure we have no leaks. If all checks out, the tow plane will be available for tows by early afternoon Saturday.The Lark radio is reported to be garbled when transmitting. SSI policy states there is to be no winch launching without the use of an operable push-to-talk radio. So until it is repaired, aero-tows only. Take a hand held radio with you.
The PW-5 is down for some fiberglass repair work on the lower fuselage due to a weak link break.
The Green Golf cart will not go into reverse. Seems to be a switch problem.
If you see something that needs repair, please report it to Don Grillo in person or send an email to
ssi-directors@googlegroups.com or my cell is 630.303.2871
I’m planning on being there on Sat. I would be intersted in doing some
winch training, or I can tow if needed.Aaron
Dan, with the high temp today of 96, it would not be safe to operate. The heat index will be over 100. Tomorrow is looking the same. Sunday and Monday are looking good. Lets try for flight ops then.
.EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM THIS MORNING TO 7 PM CDT SATURDAY… * HIGH TEMPERATURES….95 to 98 degrees today and Saturday. * MAXIMUM HEAT INDICES…110 to 117 degrees today and around 110 degrees Saturday. * IMPACTS…The cumulative effects of temperatures and heat index values this high could lead to heat related illnesses with prolonged exposure. Those without air conditioning…
Denny, I have published the 1-34R flight manual in the SSI Files/Doc section of the website. I will look for a quiz when I am out at the field today. If I find one I will get it posted on the website.
Steve, I can come out today as well. Winds will be out of the south west today so, expect in East operation. Forecast is calling for some gusts up to 22 kts.
