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 !!
