I’ve been giving this some serious thought per Larry’s last email. Are the risks relatively low? Yes they are. The likelihood of infecting someone in a spread-out rural environment is relatively small. The sample size of those infected in downtown Chicago is still vanishingly small.
On the other hand, the majority of you are over the age of 60. That increases the lethality of this virus substantially though we don’t yet have enough data to say precisely how or why.
Healthy aeronautical decision making will help you determine what constitutes an acceptable risk for you personally.
I have no qualms about giving any of you one on one instruction in coming weeks. I would suggest to record the material presented in large membership or instructors’ meetings to eliminate the pressure an individual might feel to be in a large group if they don’t feel comfortable. That way those who do want to come can start the flying season unimpeded while those who don’t can review the material independently, then debrief the topics individually with an instructor.

Alright gents.
10AM tentative start time. I’ll be there earlier to charge the battery, check the mule and get things set up as best I can. We need a CFI or a winch driver (I will fill whichever role you don’t) as well as someone who is launch director qualified. Let’s try to take advantage of a beautiful day!
Don- To my knowledge the truck battery (more importantly the terminals for its alternator) are within jumper cable distance. Is that, along with trickle charging in the morning, a viable solution?
John- Pawnee is in front of winch truck and retrieve car. So while technically they are “put away” I do not see this as more of a problem than it would be during the flying season. Just move the tow plane out, get the stuff and move it back in. Am I missing something? Has the configuration changed since I was out last?

What’s a millennial? Is EXCEL compatible with those new typewriters kids use these days that don’t need an ink ribbon? Somewhere around my cave I left a stone tablet with instructions for this kind of stuff…
I’m at 224-374-6309 if you need help with Excel
Ok guys. Hah that was an ild message that I wrote last week but if it means we get to have another operation that’s cool! Wednesday October 2nd. I’ll come by to offer winching and instruction as necessary.
I guess we don’t get any students today. I’ll do the work another day unless anyone needs instruction or winching 🙁
