Up till last night, Caboolture Gliding Club had Friday flying called off five times in 2015 (yep, just a month and a half into the year) with the last three Fridays in a row cancelled due to wind or water or both. So why would we expect Friday the 13th to be any different?
 
No surprises for guessing that there was no flying again today. But by the fourth week in a row the Friday crew were beginning to learn, and turned today into one we could go home from with a sense of getting something done.


Lindsay Mitchell led Barry and Lynette McCarthy, Tony Sorensen, John Knox, Ken Mitchell, John Nestor, Judith Smith and Garrett Russell in a steaming team effort to unrig the IS-28 and store it in the container space very recently vacated by the IS-30.

Very recently means about half an hour earlier, when we wheeled the 30 fuselage up to the CAC hangar in readiness for some TLC. Speedy Gonsalves is getting his after hours paint gun primed for action!

So watch out for the 30 coming back to the flight line soon. And anyone feeling the need to visit CQC one last time will find her resting under covers in her new home:
