Rod Hepburn, back to gliding after a break of 10 years or so, made the transition from Junior yesterday to Jantar Standard today. After landing he left to go back home to Kuranda in far North Qld. Rod is interested in resurrecting the gliding club at Mareeba. He is an instructor of Student aircraft maintenence engineers, and looking out for a "project" two seater for the students to learn on, and to get the gliding club going.
Another pilot, Michael, from Broken Hill came along for a couple of instructional flights. Michael is a member of Waikerie club, but hadn't flown for a couple of years. We were unable to soar unfortunately.
As the weather was fairly ordinary for gliding, but quite good for power flying, I managed to get most of my jobs done in time to jump into the Jabiru and fly home to Cowra. Arrived just after sunset, but before last llight!
