Steve:
I am a “taker” for Saturday, unless I retire now and have everyday free. We did have some fun flights this weekend but many were looking for you as an instructor. My next project with you and Mike Vaughn is cross country flights in the “better” gliders.

Rich
John:
Thanks for the reply. Kevin and I did look for lift and conflicting traffic as a team. I really want to move to the next level of flying on the trips that you guys write about. I know that I need to move out of the 2-33’s and the 1-26 to the PW5. I am looking forward to advice from the “Pros” at the field. I also would like to see more members sharing flights so everyone flies and gets to learn from each other.

Rich
Hello:
John: Thanks for the update. Yesterday Kevin and I took up Pumpkin for 58 minutes and made it 5,000′ feet on the altimeter. Not bad for a 2-33 with 2 on board. I need you to fly with me and help me learn where the real lift is.
No flying today (Monday) due to winds. We entertained ourselves with the grill and some FAR/AIM reading at the field. Not a bad day at SSI. Thank you to all who showed with intentions to fly but still made it a nice time. Happy 4th of July to all!

Hello:
Any interest for MONDAY morning? Mike Vaughn and I are interested if we have a Monday tow pilot.

Midday update:
So far, 3 flights. Not much lift or wind. Thank you to Mr. Grillo for towing.
A bit of organizing, cleanup and tie down work was done by members Legenza, Lincoln, Hopkins, Osborn, Walenda, and Grillo. (Sorry if I missed someone).
I do not know what the rest of the afternoon will be but the morning was nice.

Rich
