Three Gliders Staged for Flight
Hi, all:
It was a very nice day today! Professional writing coaches will tell you that including ‘very’ in a sentence is unnecessary, but on a day like today, it is necessary! Why? Because it was VERY nice out! Even though there were no thermals at all, it was a superb day to be outside.
Eighteen club sorties were flown today:
- Dan P. started the flights with a ride for a high school classmate from Minneapolis.
- Sean S. flew two sorties in his Jonkers JS-3. The first was an aerotow and the second he did a self-launch.
- Jonathan F. flew two flight lessons with Steve R.
- Steve took one of the local Traffic Control folks up, and he also gave a ride to one of the Eppley tower employees.
- Steve took Josh’s father for a ride.
- Bud S. flew a sortie in his Grob 102 Astir CS77.
- Will M. flew two solo pattern flights in the L-23.
- Dave L. flew a solo flight in the L-23.
- Jeff F. flew his first two flights in the club’s Grob 102 Astir CS. He says he found it to be a nice flying ship, but readily admits needing to work on landing it more gracefully.
- Beth C. came out to fly a lesson with Steve. It was noted that she came out fairly late in the afternoon and no one would have protested if she’d brought a pizza or two with her. And a beer. For everyone.
- Don O. flew his two FAST Kit flights with Steve and decided that he was joining OSCI. Don is an airline pilot with a lot of experience and would like to tow for us as well as eventually earn his CFI-G.
Frank did the towing today.
Thanks to all, on what was a VERY nice day to be at the airport.
Tom
