Hello aviatrices and aviators,
We had a nice day of soaring.
Didn't look promising in the morning, but got better in the afternoon.
We had Clark Allen taking 3 instructional flights, one of which was a tow rope break exercise that he handled beautifully. He was also invited to be a passenger for Dale Igram in the acrobatic flight of the day.
We all went to have lunch, and when we came back, Don Taylor had already arrived to take to the skies. He took 303BA and said that he would go to 2000 and stay up half hour. I bet him lunch that he wouldn't be able to stay half hour. He landed 50 minutes later, smiling and thinking about that 1-pound steak I owe him at St. Elmo's.
Ron Clarke went up, disappeared, and re-appeared two hours later doing that two-thumbs-up thing he likes to do.
A couple of guests friends of Dale were very nicely impressed by the view from up-there.
Gerry Simpson and Dan Dewitt went up in the 103, came back, and immediately went up again, convinced that they had actually flown in WAVE in Indiana.
Thanks to John Schlechte, the tow pilot of the day, to Dale, the instructor of the day, and Mike Beckage, always crewing with contagious gusto.
