Saturday, 20 June brought six sailplane flyers and a tow pilot out to try some summer conditions.  A south wind moved the staging area to the north end of the field and gave everyone a chance to tune up their approaches and landings on runway 12.

While the move was taking place Larry was moving cushions, Richard was pre-flighting the 1-26 and Darrell was assembling his Discus, NT.

Mo started towing later in the morning, while Larry gave instruction to Brian, Alex and John through the day. In between these flights, Richard launched in the 1-26, Peter flew 06 and Darrell got airborne in NT.

Darrell in NT and Peter in 06 were able to fly together a few times, working the lift available in the valley.  At the end of the day, 13F launched for what appeared to be a nice flight.
