Ski flying and breakfasts

The ski flying and breakfast seasons are both off to a slow start this year, due to a variety of mechanical, meteorological, and gastronomical reasons.

There are three airplanes on skis now, with the possibility of two more, and the first Sunday breakfast at Whistle Stop was enjoyed by a small crowd.  The days are noticeably longer now:  some of us are talking about glider flying at Springfield.

Contact Andy, Tim, or Rick about getting in the air on skis.

Ski season started today

Congratulations to Tim and Andy for getting into the air on skis today. Rick and Rich are in a tight race for last place again, what else is new?

Come join us this winter. It's an easy and fun way to stay in practice between soaring seasons.

Breakfast season has started

Andy, Christopher, Mike, Paul, Paul, Rick, Steve, Sue, and Thomas kicked off the breakfast season at EBA's on Sunday morning. The new 9am rendezvous time was fairly well tolerated, and that left enough time to go flying. Three airplanes made it into the air later that day, despite some squally conditions.

Rick, Tim, Andy, and Rich are all looking for passengers (i.e. shovelers) to assist in flight operations this winter. If this sounds familiar, it should. Come out and fly with us.

The next breakfast is scheduled for Sunday, January 16, at Mickey's in Enfield NH. Be there.

The full breakfast calendar is here.

Speaking of slow starts, the ski flying season is also behind schedule. Andy has done a good job of getting out whenever he can; Tim is flying, finally, after some carburetor troubles; and Rick and Rich are... well... lazy.

Come out and fly with us. Shoveling snow is lots of fun, kinda like whitewashing fences.
