Exciting news – Mike Gadd and Ged Nevisky are taking part in the Interclub League Competition this weekend. Mike flew the Open Cirrus in the Novice class today. He completed the 91km racing task. Excellent. Mike has promised photos and a “How I did” blog early next week. I’m looking forward to that already.

The forecast today promised good weather and that is what we got. Lots of sunshine, reasonably warm although the brisk NW breeze kept most people in their fleeces. The soaring forecast looked like this would be the “day of days. In the event the soaring started well but was wiped out by the sea air which somehow managed to arrive just after midday.
Today’s instructor team, Don Puttock, Bob Pirie and myself kept the 2 seaters in the air and working until well into the evening. We have a healthy mix of trainee pilots at the moment who are all making great progress. We are also seeing some of our temporary members returning to start their flying training. Today these included Karl Andrews and Daniel Luke.

Apart from Carol Jones who came for an Air Experience flight we welcomed Mark Briffa who attended for a One Day Course. Mark made good progress in the less that smooth conditions aloft and was managing to fly us around the local area by the end of the day.
