Successful Glider Assembly Day

We had a great crew out today to assemble the yellow 2-33 and the 1-26. We also did a dozen flights!

Larry Perry, Andy Kozak, Alasdair Crawford, Bill Batesole, Jim Wells, Steve Hurd, Bob Iulaino, Bill Detrich, Colby von Kannewurff, Ben Berg, Paul Happ, Don Graber, Mark Farley, Greg Hunter, Charlie Freeman and I all made it to KVSF today.

Alasdair did three flights, and as Bill was current from his trip down south, he flew with both Jims for them to get current. Charlie flew with Greg, Bill flew with Ben, and one Post Millian came down for a tow in his ship. Mark and Charlie flew with CAP and got current in their ship.

Tomorrow there are no tow pilots or instructors on the schedule. Next weekend is fully staffed, and the forecast looks phenomenal!

Hope to see you out there!

First club flights of the season – getting the instructors current!

CHUGS MOA

Took a few runs @ Magic Mountain this morning. Got a nice airshow – several F35’s dogfighting – putting out chaff – the works.

Remember CHUGS is now a permanent MOA from 9k to 18k so include knowing if its Hot in your briefings – especially on wave days!

Club Glider Assembly

The weather looks to be better this coming weekend compared to this past weekend. We are planning to assemble a couple club gliders on Saturday, April 8, and do as many instructor currency flights as we can.

Next weekend is the first with an instructor scheduled, so go to the scheduling page to get yourself signed up for your annual club ship currency flight.

Members with their own ships are encouraged, but not required, to do an annual checkout.

This Sunday is Easter, so many folks are busy. If any tow pilots want to make themselves available, please send out a club-wide email to let folks know.

Hope to see you out there!
