Mid-Week Fun

The tug stands by.
Cold and bright with the wind on the hill, but too light to provide any ridge soaring.
 
RF-5 Cockpits
Mid-week fun all round with Lee organising the day. Don pitched up with 2 X/C Endorsement candidates that kept the Falke busy all day with NavEx and Field Landing Cx. The Duo was out and John R brought out his RF-5 and offered me the spare seat for a trip round Buckinhamshire. Inevitably, we ended up popping into Enstone for tea and cake at OSF. Always good to see Ray, three RF-4s also pitched up including John M and John G. Do you have to be called John to own an RF?
 
Back at base, amongst those that were enjoying themselves flying the club kit were Terry T, Eric, Mike R, Paul B, and Lech. I even had a quick flight in the Ka.8 before sending Lech off for his first flight in it near the end of the day. Last flight went to Tony T with Lee on an A/T to 3000ft.

Special thanks to Kath for winching all day "...just to keep current"!
