At the crack of dawn Saturday Andy L, Andy G, and Peter B drove out of Post Mills with almost everything they needed to install the new cylinder on the towplane at Gorham. When they got there, they realized that the wrist pin was in Andy's car, back at Post Mills. A quick phone call to Tim C resulted in Tim dropping whatever it was he was doing, racing to the airport, breaking into Andy's car, grabbing the wrist pin and flying it to Gorham - proving that Champs are useful sometimes after all. At the end of the day, the two Andys were able to fly home triumphantly in the L-19. Peter B made the drive back alone. The three traveling mechanics get full volunteer credit, and Tim gets hero points.
On Sunday, the diehards showed up: Tom H, Pete D, Jason, Steve, Thomas. Andy was the tuggie. We assembled 3J and made a total of seven flights, three of which were soaring flights. Peter B made it to cloudbase at 6000 feet, and Pete D flew for about an hour. Not bad for a cold November day!
After flying, Jason and I took a ride to look for Cub fans. We found one in East Corinth.
