1st Week of March

I see it is a long time since I last blogged but Robin and Peter Shiels have filled in some of the gaps.

With March here already things are quieter mid week. My friend John from England has been learning to glide, Bart Hellemens made his debut in the Junior - he does just fit in! Rod Loder has been here doing the form 2 on the DG 400 HDB, and then flying it.

Friday 6 March was busier, with Dave Shorter, Gerhard Stuck Peter Shiels and Ray Tilley all flying as well as John, Bart and Rod. Quite a reasonable day, but I had to leave early to fly to Cowra to participate in the Great Air Ralley in Victoria over the weekend. 

I usually fly the Jabiru in the air ralley, but this year decided to be a passenger in a Cessna 210 - nice to be flown for once! It went from Deniliquin to Echuca to Bendigo to Shepparton, with food at each place.

No reports of the weekend, but I see flights from Lake Keepit posted on the OLC so I guess it was OK. Looked good on Sunday down south anyway.
