We can do the courses any weekend. Have a good trip!
Hello:Speaking of learning opportunities I can come out and run a Stop the Bleed course. If interested let me know. In the future I may run a Basic Life Support class. Regards,
Rich
And thanks to Mark for instructing!
Hello:
Today had 11 flights. Most flights were 13 to 30 minutes or so. Don Grillo managed a 1:13 flight in the 1-26! I have no idea about John Lincoln’s flight since I left before he landed but he definitely stayed aloft for a long, long time. Brynn and Mike Palmer had some student flights while John Scott, Kees, John Lincoln, Dennis Burke, Don Grillo and John Osborn did their flights. Gregg and I took up Pumpkin for a short flight before we put everything away for the afternoon. It is nice to have Pumpkin back but Stars and Stripes also wants to fly! (Also both 1-26’s, Krosno and PW5.)
The weather:
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 92. Light south wind becoming south southwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning.
Sunday: (Not so great)<b> </b>A chance of showers and thunderstorms, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 83. South wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west southwest in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.
And, for Jonathan’s question, just call the field at (847) 683-7627 to see if anyone is flying or to just chat about what is going on.
See you tomorrow!
Regards,
Rich
Hello:What time are you starting? I can assist on the ground and fly.Regards,Rich
Hello:Let us (the club membership) know when assembly help is required. Also, I have my own aviation portable radio so not having a built in radio in Pumpkin is a good excuse for me to have that radio. Thanks in advance for all the extra stuff you do for the club. Regards,Rich
Don:Thanks for working as GSO and for the soaring tips. They were helpful and much appreciated. Also, very cool truck…Regards,
Rich
Hello:
I was able to log in again. I see no emails ref. activity for Sunday. Also, no one used Book Our Plane to reserve anything. Are there plans for Sunday and Memorial Day? Also, I did see some more mowing yesterday and forgot to thank the mowers for their work.
Regards,
Rich
Hello:
Kind of hijacking the thread but today we had 9 flights and followed the policies. There were mostly student and check out flights with 1 additional FAST flight. Thanks to Gary for towing, John S. & Mike V. for CFI work and Art for tackling the GSO job and Mark & Andy for ground support with the golf carts. I was able to keep Stars and Stripes up in some modest lift for a half hour around 3:30 pm. A little gusty with wind right down the runway. We used 9 for take off and landing.
The forecast:
