There were clear blue skies at Caboolture today as the Saturday duty team prepared a single, lonely CQC for flying. However even though the thermals weren't popping, her flight time was put to good use as we welcomed new member Andrew Cowley to the club. John Ashford (L2) flew four training flights with Andrew throughout the course of the day, officially launching his gliding career.

It was a day of high releases today, as Tuggie Steve Chapman courteously towed the majority of our flights right up to 3500ft. Neil Muspratt (AEI) flew our first AEF customer for the day at 11am, and shortly after took a friend for a flight while earning himself flight of the day at 27 minutes. Karl Bodi then offered to take AEF number two after lunch before wrapping up a quiet day early at 3pm.

Stats for the day:

CQC          7 flights          2 hrs 19 mins

 
Hopefully Sunday will present some longer flights, though thermals or not the conditions at the moment are making for great training flights!

See you at the field
