Friday flying....
Hot, some clouds turning blue later in the day with strong lift and sink. Cross Country training with Varun. KQ, U1 and OA in the air.
CONGRATULATIONS Bassam. Your smile is priceless. We are all happy for you. Well done!
Today Connor accomplished all Silver Badge requirements (1,000m Altitude Gain, 5-hour Flight, 50km Distance) flying the club’s Grob 102 glider. CONGRATULATIONS!
Connor shown left after his flight with his dad visiting from South Africa.
On the way back from Navasota clouds in the South had overdeveloped, towering high and spreading out creating a huge shadow that caused all thermal activity to seize. Time to check for your nearest airport to land. It was Gloster Aerodome today….
Highways in the sky…Gorgeous cloud streets today over our field!
