HIGHLIGHTS:
 

1. So far, December has provided us with more than our share of rain. Today was no exception. If this keeps up, we'll have more than the normal rainfall for the month. The El Nino is building in the ocean and that often means more rain for CA. We'll see.

2. The weather didn't prevent the Board of CCSC from meeting, with the hot topic being the tow plane we bought that turned out to be illegal, and the new information about current restrictions on all Cessna 150's for glider towing. We are going after the perpetrators who were involved in the sale of the illegal tow plane, and we are considering engineering studies to see if we can eliminate the weight restriction on the current tow plane, N4205U. We'll keep you informed of our progress.

3. Don't forget to keep current. We can still tow any glider with a single occupant as long as the combination of glider and pilots doesn't exceed 917 lbs. Try your best to maintain currency during the winter months so you don't get too rusty and risk making a mistake on your next flight. Even a single tow to altitude is worth the drive out and keeps your mind on aviation safety. See you at Avenal.
