Sunday July 23rd Report

We had a fun, great day to fly:
Great soaring weather. Puffy cumulus clouds everywhere.
29 flights
First flight took off at 10:30
Last flight landed at 18:20.
9 instructional.
3 guest rides
1 newspaper reporter.
Many flights lasting more than 3 hours.
1 land-out
At some point there were 9 ships in the air.
Even a plane from Caesar Creek flew over Alexandria and returned to Ohio (without landing here.)

Thanks to Mike, Cheryl and Todd for crewing like only they can, to Larry Miller for the guest rides, Ms Holcombe for the pictures, Rick Whitworth for all the work, Gerry Whitson for his 7-hours towing marathon, Olaf for giving Gerry a short break, and to all who came to the airport to make it a great day.
