Jason
and Chris stepped up to the DP role and we took the
Blanik and Twin to RW30 where we stayed all day. We
were soon joined by Karl Bodi. James Moloney, a AAFC
Cadet, visited with his mother Becky. James has a
AAFC Scholarship so we should see more of him when
his AACF paperwork is finalised. Karl took James for
2 Experience flights and also Becky. Karl must have
done something right as Becky is very keen to learn
gliding. Her enthusiasm was boosted by an early
afternoon visit by Jo Wooler. Jo will never miss a
chance to sell our great sport to any member of the
fairer sex and she did a good sell on CGC and
gliding to Becky. Thanks Jo. Jo is also a regular
participant in the annual Women in Gliding week.
Back
to the start of the day and Jason had 2 flights with
Tony and then his first solo in the Blanik. There
was a short wait while the Mustang took off with
it's usual gusto.
Jason
later had 2 more solo flights including the last
fight of the day when he held off for a very good
ground effect run for about half of RW24.
Well done Jason.
Meanwhile Chris Weir had 2 friends come to fly and I
flew the 2 passenger flights. As Mick mentioned in
his Saturday report, winter can be a great soaring
time of the year and all the Sunday flights were
good and took advantage of the clear
conditions. My 2 pax flights were
for 38 and 49 minutes. Mick Moloney also visited us
again with his grandson Jett. It was suggested he
was giving Jett's mother a Mothers Day break but he
really was collecting his hand held radio he left on
Saturday.
The
day did not finish quietly however. Jo could not
resist using the shredded Blanik covers to
"dress up" Karl and Tony.
