We had a visit from Eb Lemke, a German born and trained glider pilot. Eb is a retired civil engineer who built airports in the middle east. He was an active member of our local soaring club and a private owner as well.
Sven Ingalls, who still flies with me at 92, wanted to have his friend Ryan experience a glider flight in our club's high performance DG-1000
Ryan took to it quite nicely and flew around while I took pictures.
Another "emeritus" glider club member Emil Kissel, a retired Pan Am Flight Engineering Officer on Boeing 314 "flying boats", 707s and 747s, gave an informative and inspiring talk about his career and aviation in general to a standing room only crowd at the Monterey Bay Aviation hangar:
Last Sunday Walter and his father Aaron came by for a glider ride:
After the ride we got Robin, Walter's mom to sit in the pilot's seat for a nice family picture:
