Congratulations 

New L2 - David Higgs

Ordinarily that would be enough good news for a Caboolture Saturday.

But this Saturday just went on doubling the good news:

20 FLIGHTS!
The first 20 flight Saturday in who knows how long

2 NEW MEMBERS!
Welcome Joel Christie and Regan Lacey to the YCAB Pie Cart crowd

Needless to say it was a very good Saturday for the baker’s dozen of members at the end of RWY 12 today

Duty Instructor David Griffiths took Joel Christie for his first two training flights and later checked out Alex Horvath

AEI Neil Muspratt had three passenger flights including the best two-seater time of 35 minutes

Karl Bodi and Ray Colley each had more than 20 minutes in IKW

Lindsay Mitchell gave GJY a thorough going over which lasted an hour and two minutes (technical report to come from Lindsay later) before handing the Libelle over to Duty Pilot Mike McCluskey

Eric Dickeson and I took some friends flying (yes we do both have some non-gliding friends)

David Higgs exercised his new L2 powers on new member Regan Lacey – who showed he hasn’t forgotten much about flying a glider in the six years he’s been away from the sport – as well as turning the plastic picnic table on JC:

AND ALL HAIL THE
20 FLIGHT TUG PILOT!
Steve Chapman not only flew all 20 launches for Saturday, he also volunteered to squander a stack of his domestic brownie points by coming back to share the towing with Karl Bodi on Sunday.

And if that’s not enough to get you out to the field:

Come out and celebrate David Higgs’ first day as L2 Duty Instructor

And welcome the club’s third new member for the weekend when Seph Flack rejoins after a long absence

See you there tomorrow
