Varun Solos GHSA's Schweizer 1-26
From Mike Brooks: “Varun soloed the 1-26 today - he was able to get in a couple of launches before it got a bit windy. Thanks to David Coggins for towing (and changing the oil in 42J prior to doing so). Also thanks to Dean for helping move the ship and Beth for recording the flights. I heard his dad Abhi ask him how the controls felt and he said ‘Smooth!’.”

Mike and Julie added sliding windows onto the canopy of 5ST. Thanks Julie and Mike!
