Looks like a nice day tomorrow. We have a tow pilot. Sign up or reply so we know who to expect. (I hope to be there. Might have another issue come up).

Now, as for Sunday. Weather shows a chance for showers but if there is interest let us know and we well attempt to have an operation. Rockford TAF is FM281300 18010KT P6SM BKN060. What’s it say?

So where is the rain? Read on.

30 percent of showers equals 70 percent of no showers. So speak up. It should be worth the effort.Steve
Saturday recap. It was an exciting day! The highlight was a FIRST SOLO by Wil! Congratulations and best wishes on achieving your next goals.
A total of 16 flights today. Thanks to Gary for doing all of the tows. Mixed in there were flights for our newest member Armando, Kevin getting checked out in the 2-33 after solos in the Krosno. Andy earing his C badge, and Animesh treating his sister to 2 flights. His first passenger since earning his Private rating.
Thanks to everyone that pitched in, ran wings, kept the times, mowed and who knows what else. What a great family we have here.

Today was a pleasant day. 6 flights total thanks to Don for towing. Petr gone for 3 hours. Geoff and Greg P also had nice flights. Andy mastered the art of forward slips and Griffin made progress towards his checkride.
Also, I will be away Tuesday through Friday this week.
