Today at DGS was all go with a training day for the Kelly College CCF cadets.

The day started with the Kelly College students getting a briefing of the days flying from Don before Ged and David started the flying instruction.

First in the air was Gareth Matos taking his first flight in a glider

Max, Rob and Aleksi were hands on to return the glider BVB back to the launch point following its landing.

As well as the instructors, thanks also go to Alan Ballard for winching, Alan Carter for driving retrieve. Robin Wilson and Matthew Mackay for ensuring the smooth running of the launch point.

A good team effort provided a good flying day for the cadets.
