The low cloudbase with 8/8 coverage, misty conditions and a light northerly wind did not promise much. The pilots made good use of the day though with everyone maintaining their currency. Bob and Steve continued with their instructor training with CFI Don; Cable breaks, stalls and steep turns today.
Junior pilot Matthew Wiles continued his meteoric progress. He soloed on his 16th birthday on the December 7th. Since then he has completed lots of solo flights, achieved 2 bronze soaring legs, converted from the K13 to the K8 and, today he converted to the K6.
Superman? I don't think so --- Just an excited Matthew after flying the K6 |
Thanks to Rick Wiles for lots of winching today and also for working on the second club computer and the wireless modem/router. The club now offers the use of wireless broadband to the those club members who use laptops, netbooks or smartphones on the airfield.
Steve
