Weekend review

Two great (if rather hot) soaring days this weekend. Lot’s of club member and intro flights. Nice also to see not just lots of people but lot’s of ships flying at the same time – Q2, VOL, B9, IC, YZ, i1, 003, both club 2-33’s and the 1-26 all took to the skies most for multi-hour flights.

Congratulations Ben Berg, NESA’s Newest Certificated Glider Pilot

Congratulations to Ben Berg, and his mom and dad who supported him, as he passed his Private Pilot-Glider Practical Test today!

Despite winds that were a bit gusty, he performed to the test standards over three flights and was awarded his Pilot Certificate. Way to go, Ben! Now you can take that growing list of family and friends for a glider flight!
