I had to work the line helping to launch gliders while I waited for someone, anyone, to come in for a glider ride as we had no reservations!
Ron and Buzz got their self-launching gliders together but didn't need my help or a tow:
Steve put his Pegasus together and I helped him get launched.
After his flight and relight from Panoche, We had to blow out his pitot line to remove the insect pupa that had made his airspeed indicator read incorrectly. He said he used the data from his GPS flight computer to figure his airspeed. Ah that's the way to adapt to the situation! We then took the glider apart and stowed it in the trailer.
Rajat had five flights during his lesson with Jonathan:
Gabriel and a friend took a Panoche tow in the BASA DG-505:
And look what a great flight they had:
Meanwhile Ramy launched from Byron and came south to join the Hollister guys. He had a 400k flight but couldn't make it back to Byron so he landed in Hollister.
I got this off Ramy's facebook page. What a beautiful picture to show where he had been!
