Unfortunately Michael V. and I will be taking our required Annual Rep Training tonight… – Thanks, JohnJohn Baker
Paul was “Captain” of the L-23 back when a member would take lead responsibility of one of our aircraft. I cannot imagine a Sky Soaring when I joined without Paul and the L-23 he brought with from his old club. Even when “Aircraft Captains” faded away, Paul was still there on assembly day to look after the L-23 and it’s assembly and I always respected that and deferred to him on questions. He was one of those behind the scenes that did a lot for Sky Soaring and will be missed…John Baker

John BakerAll,
Last call for changes, the FAA has asked me to close the seminar/the window for assigning credit for our Spring Safety Seminar:
– Thanks, JohnCredit was given to the email address the club provided for you. Once youopen an account with that email address you will see the credited activity.
The following email addresses the club provide did not have a matching Wings/FAASafety Account (including yours):
Given that we have not had a regularly scheduled monthly Saturday meeting since this change (“Instructor & Tow Pilot Credits”) was announced, can we have this topic put on the agenda for discussion prior to the start of the Safety portion of the March Monthly meeting?
– Thanks, JohnJohn Baker
As with any decision of this magnitude, the board should
consider the current economic client and the effect/unintended consequences
it could have on membership.If enough decide that $400 is more than they can afford and
go inactive for a year, it may not produce the desired amount for the rebuild fund and
also negatively impact flight revenue in 2021…My two cents…

Wednesday Recap…
Yesterday we flew the Lark on aerotow on a sunny day with slowly developing
clouds…We had (at least) seven flights that included 6 different CFI’S at one end
of the rope or the other including; Don Grillo, Larry Kase, Michael Vaughn,
Steve Snyder, Tim Ponsot and John Baker.There were instructional flights, CAP Annual Form 5 Check Flights and a bit
of thermaling including getting 600 feet above release height and having a
30 minute flight off a 2,000 ft tow.The wind direction was right down the runway, and it provided good practice
for tightening up the pattern for a headwind on final that was a bit
stronger then usual…It made for a nice relaxing way to play hooky from an afternoon of work…
Thank you to those who came out and mowed and helped out around the field.
-Thanks again, JohnJohn Baker
