Hi, All: We had an early shut down today because of rain. We did complete 6 pattern flights for Jim D. before the rain arrived, but we had to call off flight ops once the rain started. We got a lot of rain in a short amount of time, and the runway was too…

Hello, all: We flew fourteen flights today, beginning with 10 CAP flights in the morning. We flew four club flights in the afternoon, with Bob D. taking up a friend, followed by Lexy H. for a solo flight. Warren P. did a quick solo pattern flight and then took a friend up for a…

Hello, all: Nine flights were flown today. Bob C. checked out Liam G. on flying the L-23 from the back seat. Then, Liam took a fellow Air Force pilot up for the first of two rides. Jim D. took a flight with Bob C., and then Bob C. took a visitor up for a…

Hi, All: Another great day to fly! The thermals were strong today, but so was the sink between the thermals. The sink messed up the timing on at least one pattern tow. It took a lot longer to reach 1,000′ than it normally does, so the glider release occurred later than normal. In total,…

Hi, All: What a nice day to fly! We completed nine flights today. Lexi H. flew one flight with Jaime and then flew a solo; she found some lift on her solo flight. Jake K. and Bob D. did a couple of pattern tows. Bud S. flew twice, and Bob A. and I each…

Hello, Club Members: Today was a little unusual. We flew twenty-one flights, but a single member flew seventeen of those flights.

Hello everyone: We flew nineteen flights today – not too bad for a day with lower clouds. We started flight ops a little earlier than normal. We knew going in that it wasn’t going to be a good day for thermals, so we planned to fly more training flights and FAST Kit rides. The…

Hi All, We had a busy day today with a total of 24 flights flown. There were three rides, three Annual Safety Flights (John H, Mark B, and Jake K), and eighteen normal club flights. Lexy H flew three pattern flights with Steve and then flew a solo flight. Jim C flew a lesson…

Hello, OSCI Members: We had a busy day with 16 flights, plus there was good lift. First up twice with Steve R. was Joe C. Then Warren P. flew his annual safety flight with Steve. Later on, Warren flew a solo flight and just missed completing the hour-long flight required for his ‘B Badge’.…

Hi, OSCI Members: We completed eight flights today, before the winds exceeded our club safety limit. Our short-term goal the past couple of weeks has been to have OSCI members complete their Annual Safety Flights. This is a club requirement for safety purposes, where each club member is required to fly one flight with…
