misc pics to update blog!

The weather has been challenging to our schedule and the economy doesn't help.  Life goes on at the airport while we await the arrival of the spring soaring season.  Here are two Mustangs giving rides:


This is the view from the front seat of a glider on tow behind our Pawnee on a day with beautiful clouds and visibility:

After release the towplane came around to fly some formation:

Don, on the left, had a nice flight in a single place glider while the couple in the middle flew in the two-place sailplane, now covered, for 2.5 hours on a gorgeous day.  Our instructor, Charlie, on the right, flew with his student, a 13 year-old, for a looooong lesson as well!  Note the snow on the higher ground behind the female US Navy carrier-pilot.  It was her second glider flight and we hope she's hooked on slow and luxurious flying.
