Friday the Fourth of July

No
fireworks at Caboolture fortunately and no Wieners or Budweiser
either!
A
reduced Friday crew presented themselves to fly today,
Judith Smith and Ken Mitchell called in sick, Barry
McCarthy was still suffering with some terrible bug he
has had for 3 weeks, and Garrett Russell phoned in the
early morning to make sure we knew about the passenger
expected, he had a bad cough.
However
Bob Turner as Instructor and Tony Sorensen as tuggie
were present, along with Arthur Mailey, John Nestor,
Shane Tuck, Karl Bodi, and yours truly, Bob
Hainsworth. We prepared CQC and GYK and took them out
to 24, which seemed to us the correct runway though as
usual the power boys were using 12. After 2 launches
we gave in and went to12 for the rest of the day. John
Nestor launched first in CQC and was back in 9
minutes, the decision to move was made and Arthur
launch in GYK to land on 12 after a flight of 17
minutes. Then our visitors arrived early and after
completing the paperwork Karl Bodi took Fred Tullock
for a ride in CQC for 28 minutes from 3500 ft. Maybe
things were improving.
