Caboolture
Gliding Club has been a long term participant in the MBRC's
Older & Bolder program.

The morning
flights were flown in smooth conditions that unfortunately
provided very little lift to assist the pilots (Air
Experience Instructors) who were striving to extend the
flight times past 20 minutes from the 3,000 feet launches
...

Brendan
McRae (front seat) receives last minute support from Mick
Moloney ... while pilot Kevin Rodda (rear seat)
attends to the pre-flight check list.

The
flying conditions were significantly better however after lunch
with the last two
flights having to be called back in when the ground crew
started packing-up for the day (an unusual situation, where the lift
only appeared after the afternoon sea breeze had rolled in from
the east to replace the morning's strong north-westerly
breeze) ...

Trish
Humphries scored the longest flight of the day (1:08 with
Kevin Rodda in CQC).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Brenda
Ney took the last flight of the day and also scored an
hour-plus flight (1:05 with Mike McCluskey in GQA).

And the
CGC team that made it happen on the day ...
