We flew on June 7th and 14th, both Saturdays. The first one was a bit frustrating, with good looking cumulus clouds and light winds, but no lift to speak of. We made about eight flights, only one of which managed to stay up. It was so hot that we quit early, and our heat exhaustion lasted through Sunday, a day of maintenance projects, but no flying.
During the week, Tony flew a few times to practice his landings and test some new instruments in 7H, and Kevin and Nathan took a ride in the Blanik.
The 14th was notable in that Jon flew his first unassisted takeoff and tow. This is a major milestone. Can solo be that far away?
Sunday was cancelled early due to drizzly conditions. It cleared in the afternoon, so we may have missed an opportunity. It turned out to be good enough to fly a practice task at the Region One contest.
