Boris' last day at the club. We will surely miss him. I think I will have to keep calling him to find out where he has tidied things away to! Not only has he been an excellent tuggie, but he has looked after the plane and kept the flight centre, club house and hangar exceptionally clean and tidy. Even more unusual is that he is a male who can do the paperwork!
Ian did the towing again in MIE. There was quite a crowd at briefing. Rod Loder, Geoff Neely, Olav, Stephen Ottner, Steve Hedley, Ross Edwards, Roy Worthington and Geoff Sim.
The aviation forecast was for CAVOK everywhere which didn't tell us much. However area 22 warned of occasional thermals and dust devils, otherwise fine! The blipmaps indicated that there would be no cloud in our area so we thought the day would be much the same as yesterday.
We called a task for Manilla, Barraba, Rangarai, Gunnedah and back to Lake Keepit. I was lucky enough to be invited to fly with Geoff Sim in the ASH 25 which was interesting - however it must be made for much larger people than I as I had difficulty reaching the rudders and trim! It certainly goes forever in a glide!
The day proved to be much better than forecast, and we did get cu, and climbs to about 8000ft. All who attempted the task succeeded, including Olav in the Grob. Stephen Ottner flew a slightly shorter task in the LS7.
Roy flew the tractor again!
