Good idea Logan. Hopefully, an instructor or two will offer to put together a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly ground school for student pilots. Learning the basics from aero dynamics to chart reading to weather to the FARS is all part of becoming a pilot and working towards your private pilots license.

We went from Sky Soaring to Poplar Grove to Dacy and back to Sky Soaring. About an hour and 15 minute flight. We flew together as a team. What you don’t see are the clouds. We had scattered clouds at 4500 feet MSL and light winds out of the WNW.
This video is made using the SeeYou software that uses our IGC data file recorded by our onboard GPS flight recorders. I have posted it on our website photo gallery here: http://skysoaring.com/users-post-gallery/ or on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/cG4HVb-Kp7QMusic is by YES.

I know all three of them will continue to strive for their aviation goals. They are going to make great pilots and I look forward to watching them as they progress. I have posted their pictures and videos in the Photo Gallery and also on our fb page.
Just did the first tow with the 233, and he has found some good lift. Come on out
