stint!

Sorry to say, given
a choice between your chances or that pigs can fly, my
money would have to be on the pigs!

Well Saturday was a
beautiful drying day and Sunday turned out to be
sunny too. It was a bit damp in places underfoot so
we DI'd the Twin. Alan Graham kindly assumed Duty
Pilot duties because the rostered one sadly did not
appear, and John Ashford was tuggie.
Garrett Russell brought an American Steve Demvinski
from Wisconsin. Amazingly, he only had been
the Oshkosh Airshow once! 25 yrs ago he had
undergone gliding instruction but had never soloed.
As there was no AEI rostered, I took him up
for a very pleasant AEF and he quickly got back into
the groove and we had a 24 minute flight with weak
lift in places. The wind was favouring 30 but
we landed on 24 as the predicted westerly had
arrived.
Alan Graham allowed me then to take up my
prospective member friend Richard Buzzacott and we
could not find the lift and we were back down again
in 17 minutes sadly. Even after that short
flight, he is seriously considering joining the
Club! :-)
High stratus came over and Alan elected not to fly
so we returned to the tie down area for a drink.
To round the day off, we did a rubbish run!
