HIGHLIGHTS:
 

1. Scott Naumann flew here in his Cessna 180 and brought along his friend Tom Ronay. Scott joined the club, checked out in the 2-33 and took Tom for a few launches. Scott is a long time glider pilot and flight instructor who also happens to be a pilot on the 777 for United Airlines based at SFO. We welcome Scott and Tom, and perhaps as things go forward, Tom might also join the CCSC. WELCOME TO THE CCSC, SCOTT !!

2. Morgan Hall and Julie Butler were here today as they have been visiting regularly for the past few months. Morgan was flying the Blanik more in anticipation of his moving up into the ASW 20. Julie didn't fly but had fun helping Morgan get launched, and just being around the field.

3. Joe Anastasio was working on the maintenance issues as well as flying the 1-26. Not much lift but most of those who launched did so into a very clear sky with views in all directions. Joe, like the rest of us, enjoys even a non-lifting flight. What's the saying? "A non-lift flight in a glider is better than an hour in a power plane." Or something like that.

4. Daniel Solis came out, flew a few flights, and stayed around to help out others in their launches. Daniel will likely be soloing the 1-26 soon since he has been gaining experience with multiple solos in the 2-33.

5. Jerry Smeltzer came out to see what was happening but decided not to fly based on the lack of lift available. I guess he's never heard of that saying quoted in (3) above.
