Last Saturday Rick Roekle got a three hour flight in the 1-26, he took off at about eleven just before the clouds started to develop.
Jan Zatloukal stayed up for five hours in the B-4, then came down and towed for an hour. By the way, Jan has moved to Indiana. I think its Indiana, anyway, one of those rectangle states in the mid-east, ok, mid-west.
Todd Hyten got a three hour flight his first time in the B-4!!
We signed up a new female member, Kim Nucifora. The board approved six new members last week.
This last Saturday, Sharon and I flew in from Skyhaven in the C-172 via the seacoast to Plum Island then direct to Sterling. We then took a 3k tow in the Blanik at three. Cloud base was 5,500 (I got to 5K) and the winds from the southwest. A wonderful day of flying.
Todd had another great flight in the B-4.
Bill Maxwell had a great flight in the 1-26.
Everyone was staying up for their hour in the Blanik and other ships.
