Meanwhile, back at the glider club. It was a hot day but we managed to have 10 flights today. Thanks to Larry K for towing.
Yes, indeed. Here is the link to ABC7 https://abc7chicago.com/hot-air-balloon-makes-emergency-landing-in-lake-in-the-hills-neighborhood/6307125/
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Still looking to fly Wednesday. Anyone else? Any tow pilot available? 11:00 am start.</p>
Happy Independence Day everyone! It was a hot! one but there were 14 flights including Philip earning his B badge by staying up for 1.5 hrs and Andy flying his 2nd solo. Frank had 2 good flights and Don towed all day. John P showed up and all he did was mow grass for several hours. Next time John you need to fly. Oh, and did I mention? John L took off at 13:30 and as we were closing the hanger door at 18:00 he was seen circling overhead.
Last call for the 4th. Reply here and sign up for a glider now. Should be a nice day all things considered.
Well, it did not look like it would amount to much. How things change! Total flights 23. Longest flight 3 HOURS by Austen in Pumpkin! top of the lift was 6,500 MSL.
Started out with Laurence bringing 2 friends out for guest rides. Gavin Johns did 2 flights, Oliver was checked out in the 1-26 and several others had flights. Thanks to Larry and John for towing.
