Just a short report on the day's activities at the airfield today.

When I arrived, Florian Poff, Peter John, Mike McCluskey and John Ashford were all busy unwrapping both the Blanik and the IS-28. Florian had three fairly short flights early in the day working on circuit entry and his landings. 

Mike had no AEFs booked and as such organised a friend, who is studying to be a LAME, to take his first glider flight. He loved it and it was the longest flight of the day (not counting Speedy's few hours of course) at 29 minutes. This was pretty surprising as the sky certainly looked inviting with all the right looking clouds etc but alas, very little lift.

David Crocker arrived at the field and took over the student role and completed three flights (including his first spins) with both Peter John and John Ashford sharing the instructor and tug pilot roles. 


Stats for the day:

CQC  2 flights totalling 47 minutes.
GYK  7 flights totalling 1 hour and 55 minutes

Last flight landed just before 4pm so it was really a pretty long and busy day. Fingers crossed the lift is there for tomorrow's crew.

Safe flying and happy landings !!
