Subject: [Sky Soaring] General Discussion, Reply To: This week to comeThursday and Friday also look nice. Not high lift but good conditions for training. We need a tow pilot, particularly in the afternoon as Gavin gets off school at 2:30.
Sign up now if you are interested.

Another nice day at 55LL. A total of 8 flights and a big shout out to John Scott for towing. Andy, Tim, Gavin and I all got flights in. We also were observers of a helicopter flying circus. A semi rolled on westbound I-90 and shortly after there were 4 news choppers circling like vultures over a fresh kill. Hopefully everyone on the highway was okay.

Sounds good. Andy signed up and Gavin should be out at 2:30. I’ll be about by 12.
