Another C Badge
John Gardner came to I-99 today, after flight had been cancelled owing to punk weather and lack of interest. Ground crew were leaving but we still had a tow pilot. Johns family offered to pull out the equipment and put it back if we would let him make another attempt at the precision landing required for the C-badge. His persistence paid off and he wore the badge home.
Students, there is still time this season to work on these badges. If you lack just an a task or two to finish up your badge, come on out and get it. You'll be able to wear it on your jacket all winter while you dream about getting the next one!
