Sean (father) and James (son) are doing very well, and the soaring conditions enabled them to get their turns more polished and get used to seeing the area from the air.
Juho flew Brads tug back to Armidale, and was met there by Todd, who drove him back to Tamworth. We had a meal in the Tamworth Hotel for his send off. He flew from Tamworth this morning, and by now should be half way home.
Today the wind moderated and was almost straight down the strip, so conditions were better for training. Good cu and streeting. Gerhard took a launch and did a small cross country flight, which he has posted on the OLC - thanks Gerhard - its good to show the world we are still getting good soaring conditions.
Sean and James are progressing well. Lauren Goddard came out and went solo in the Grob for the first time after a check with me. John Patton had a short solo flight in the Puchatek and learned about drifting downwind! However he did get back to the field OK and finished off with a great landing. We expect nothing less!
Geoff Sim flew in and out again in his Lancair - doing a bit of work on the White Lightning with Bob Dirks and Phil Goard.
