Hi All

 

Finally getting to matters gliding.

 

Saturday was a text book Autumn day at Caboolture.

 

Duty crew of yours truly as duty instructor, Neil Muspratt taking care of Air Experience flights, Rod Wilson looking after Ops and Steve Chapman in charge of aerial transport.

 

John Nestor joined us for some Libelle time and was rewarded with two very respectable flights. Looking very comfortable in the Belle is John. Well done.

 

The two AEFs were a father son team. Dad having some previous flight experience and son on his very first flight. Result? Both had an absolute ball and we look forward to seeing them at some time in the future. Thanks Neil.

 

David Higgs also popped in with friend Tracey for a surprise birthday flight which also went well.

 

Duty pilot Rod Wilson and I took the opportunity for a 25min mutual flight during which we had a ball. I’ve always been a fan of mutual flights. You halve your costs and learn from each other. Win Win all the way. Thanks Rod.

 

Last but not least, our CFI took a late AEF for an enjoyable flight and we hope Leo will be back as a member.

 

Thanks Steve for towing us around the skies and my personal apologies for not being at the hangar to help you.

 

All of the above came from just 7 flights on a beautiful lift rich day. We had a glider sitting on the ground waiting for you.

Winter produces some of the best soaring conditions of the year at YCAB. So get in amongst it folks!

 

Thanks to everyone for a safe flying day and I look forward to seeing you all at the field soon.

 

Safe Flying
