| The first
launch at 10:55 was Chris Bierman taking an ab-initio
training flight with Mick Moloney
in GYK. |
|
| Speedy
and Alex arrived at the flight line with the
Kookaburra (GLM) and we also had a welcome visit to the
pie-cart from Neil Schaefer (a CGC club member and
instructor who is the newly appointed RAAus
Assistant Operations Manager) .... before our CFI David Higgs took
me on a check flight in CQC with the front seat instruments covered
by pretty hot-pink "paste-it" squares at
11:18 am.
|
| |
| That
was the end of the day's gliding operations however
as the airfield was closed shortly after a tragic
fatal plane crash that occurred on 12 at around 11:30
am as David and I were joining circuit for the
landing of what turned out to be the Club's last
flight of the day.
|
| |
| The
airfield will remain closed tomorrow (Sunday). |

who perished so tragically at YCAB today. |
