It was one of the 2 fine days that weekend. 10 flights total and all very productive. Had some visitors from the local EAA chapter and Bob Dyer gave two of the group rides. One of the riders, Bud Shaw, is very interested in joining the club. New member, Jackson Dunning got two training…

Turned out to be a beautiful fall day with some great lift in a few spots and sometimes hard to find. Overall a great day with 10 flights including 4 intro rides. Got the day going with the first launch at 12:10 local with Bob A. in the L-23 solo. Whit then gave a…
