Saturday 6/18

18 flights.

• Todd Rutledge made two shakedown flights in his newly-acquired LS4a. He bought it in Ionia, Michigan. A fellow up there who owns another one told him "you're buying a Ferrari - a 1989 Ferrari, but still a Ferrari."
  
• The only student who showed up, Mark O'Leary, was also on crew. As a result (of showing up) he got several flights.
  
• Just as thermals started kicking off, the sky became completely overcast. Staying aloft was work.
  
• By 3PM most of the private ships had landed and most folks had given up for the day when the skies cleared and conditions improved greatly. I saw a large dust devil in a field southwest of the runway around 4PM.
  
• Gerry Simpson in an L-23 was the last one up.
