7 August 2009

Pretty quite here at the club at the moment. The weather has been absolutely beautiful, and there are some fantastic cus in the sky today. Makes you wish you had a self launching glider!

I have been pottering around doing odd jobs, trying to fix things and sorting the tools out - a never ending job. Also making a start on the Junior form 2.

Went to CASA briefing on "Airmanship" and "Operations at non-towered aerodromes" at Gunnedah Aero Club last night. Geoff Neely also attended. Good opportunity to catch up with GAC members and a free BBQ.

Todd Clark Vic Hatfield Ken Flower, Chris And Errol Carr have been beavering away at Armidale on the Tugg, doing the "menial" jobs as Vic puts it, so save the club some money. I bet it was cold up there. Anyway the word is that it should be ready to come back to Keepit by lunchtime on Saturday, and Ken and Vic between them are ferrying it back. Vic is now endorsed to fly Ken's G109 so they will go up to Armidale in that on Saturday morning.

Been getting some enquiries for training - things are starting to pick up again. The cross country season will be upon us again before you know it, so better get those Annual Flight Reviews done. Everyone should be winch endorsed too - we are really lucky here to have the option of both types of launching available.

And more good news - Juho is coming back to tow for us next summer.
