Hello:I booked a 1-26 on BookOurPlane (sorry Karl, I ceded to technology). I see that Andy also booked a glider. I need a tow pilot to book or show up. I can also assist with GSC, wing running, tracking flights or even ground school topics as an AGI. Art will be there. A tow pilot is needed for the certificated pilots. A CFI for students will also be helpful. July is almost over so lets enjoy the summer.Regards,Rich
Hello:
Sunday weather: Sunny, with a high near 80. North wind 5 to 10 mph. I can GSO, wing run and/or fly.Anyone want to set up a small operation?Regards,RichHello Barrett:You need to speak with your CFI to see if they are available. You need a tow pilot. This is AirVenture weekend so many members are out of town. Then you need a GSO and wing runner. It’s a group effort. Today we had minimal staffing and a small operation. I have not heard from anyone wanting to fly tomorrow.Regards,
Rich
Hello:
Today we had 5 flights. Thank you to Mr. Scott for towing and Mr. Vaughn for CFI duties. Mr. Silverman was the perfect GSO. Tim Gaither took 3 flights. I got 2 flights in, including one with my son! No lift to speak of. Average 3 k tow was a 16-18 min flight. Mr. Reich handled the board. All assisted in golf cart tow and wing runner duties. Not a bad day with scattered clouds and about 85*F.

Not to hijack the thread – did anyone check on the gliders and field tonight? We had some major damage in Elgin this evening from the twister/possible tornado. I can not access the cameras to see if things are OK.

Hello:I am working Monday protecting the freedom of Americans and making things difficult for criminals so I am unavailable until late afternoon. I have Tuesday and Wednesday off and am willing to fly, wing run, be Ground Safety, etc. I can also teach an in person ground school as an AGI if anyone has any topics that they want to cover. Its a rainy day so open the FAR/AIM and read a few pages to brush up…Regards,Rich
I can bring the training aids and run a short course. Certificates will be issued.
