Monday 9 March

Flew back from Cowra on Monday morning - head wind again - arrived about 10.15 am, expecting a very quiet week. However Rowland Ogden, visiting from England turned up - I had forgotten he was coming - and another chap Michael, turned up wanting an air experience flight.

Michael was travelling around making his way down to Victoria to offer his help rebuilding after the bushfires. I flew him in the Grob and he had very good aptitude for gliding. I only took over for the landing just as we went over the fence!

Then I flew with Roland also in the Grob. It was just to be a check/orientation flight, but conditions were so good that we flew the Manilla Gunnedah milk run to show Rowland the way. Cloudbase at about 7000ft, good cus. A bit windy on the ground, but very little up high.

Todd Clark flew in IID the LS4 and Geoff Neely in DG400 HDB.

At the end of the day, Rowland had a flight in the Junior. He is aiming for silver C while he is here.
