Saturday 8th September 2012

The Indian summer continues. Blue sky, warm and light SE wind. The atmospheric pressure was even higher today which effectively put a lid on thermal production.

A busy day on the airfield with a full member training programme supervised by CFI Don and a One Day Course and several air ex visitors flown by me.

The privately owned Twin Astir made an appearance today and it made several “interesting” approaches and long landing runs as the pilots explored it’s characteristics with no headwind to slow it down. We welcomed new member and experienced pilot Ted who had joined us from the Canterbury Gliding Club in New Zealand.

A pleasant day out with friends.
