- Having A Look
At the beginning of the day a group of folks wanting to take introductory flights came out. The ASK-21 was pulled out and DI'd so they had a good look at it. - Dave V Flies The Libelle
Dave was happy to take a first flight in C-FENR, a Libelle H201. Libelle means "Dragonfly" in German, this light compact glider has a pretty good glide ratio, especially with the retractable gear. The controls are light and nimble. What fun! - K-21 Release From Towplane

The wind picked up and got a bit messy during Rod's flight, but he came in and landed well during his first solo landing in the ASK-21. - Our newest addition - an ASK 21

We were having to take off and land in the middle of the runway, since the sides were soggy. - Audience
Often people stop by at the foot of the runway to watch what we're doing. - Birthday Intro Flight
This young person came out for an intro flight given to her as a birthday gift. During takeoff she was already thrilled. You should see the smile on her face when she landed! - Maryna Going Through Her LS4 Pre-flight Checks

It rained a lot this week ... again, so we're back to only having a narrow strip to work with on the runway. Once a plane goes by we're back on it to move a landed glider back to the flight line. - Birthday Landing
All good things come to an end. The smile on landing did not seem to fade anytime soon. This will be a birthday gift to remember! - Hookup
