Sunday flights

We had a "thermal deficient" day. Cloudbase was very high, but the strong winds al ground level, and even stronger higher up, broke up and
disorganized the thermals.
Ed Escallon took 2 practice flights in the Grob.
Mr. Whitworth took 3 instructional flights where he REALLY learned about crosswind landings.
George Saunders saw the perfect chance to try some "unusual landing conditions" (his words)
Dick Hutch gave it his best try, but even he needs some lift to stay in the air.

Thanks to Tod and Mike Beckage for the always fun and enthusiastic work they do as crew, to Larry Pennington for the instruction and Mike Nichols for the tows, George and Ed for helping, and to Nyal Williams just for showing up to cause trouble :)
