More Soaring...

Saturday was clear but cold. Mark W ran the day with John R-K assisting. The club cadets were out in strength. The G103 was rigged and all 4 remaining club gliders came out to play (the K21 is now away for a few weeks for total refurb). A couple of private owners rigged and there was a short soaring window of about 2 hours, with the longest flight, by Dave R, achieving 1:14 in a club Astir. Jim took an A/T in N12 for his Astir type conversion flight and showed us all how a zero-wind spot-landing should be done! There were also a few visiting powered aircraft.
