Hi All

The day started with Bob Turner and I viewing a big black cloud to the S W. As we pondered weather to prepare for the day,  our very depleted crew for the day of Ken Mitchell.

Kevin Dobbie

Kevin Dobbie arrived signalling the departure of the cloud. In a light N easterly Knoxy launched Bob and Kevin for the 1st of two training flights in YK and myself off in CQC off 06 with Ken locating the pie cart on 12 where the power boys were operating.  All flights were all over the half hour with Ken getting closer to his elusive first post solo hour with 46 min and Speedy filling in with a passenger flight of a similar time. 

In the mean time due to no demand I was able to indulge myself for over 2 hours outside the step.

 We wound the day up with Bob taking Knoxy on a check flight with Karl Bodi tugging.

Stats    GYK 4 flights   2.38
            CQC 2 flights     2.36

Again our thanks to our willing crew of Bob, Knoxy , Karl & Speedy.

Finally, we intend to fly next Friday 27th if numbers permit. 

If members wish to take advantage of booming Fridays please advise by email as all our duty crew is available

Safe & Happy Flying,
