In addition to the successful flight tests over the weekend, we had a few more noteworthy flights.
On Saturday, Greg and Moshe (our notable test-prep instructors) wisely concluded that their work with applicants was done, and they went flying. Greg (JR) flew a 514 km quadrilateral, with the first leg going southwest to Mount Snow, where he reached his high point (6800 feet) at 2:11pm. He landed back home at 7pm.
Moshe (PM) showed up not planning to fly, but he was able to spend a couple of hours getting refamiliarized with the 304. That makes 8 different glider types for him this year, all flying out of Post Mills.
Tim (BU) flew 226 km, including an out-and-return to Twin Mountain, and Evan (T8) took a late start and flew a South Carolina-shaped flight all over Vermont and New Hampshire (384 km).
Shawn (SB) also flew on Saturday, but he hasn't told us where he went, and we don't have his flight log file yet. All we know is that he landed at Plymouth, New Hampshire, and Kevin went to get him. Shawn and Kevin were the only ones who missed the party and the beautiful sunset at Post Mills.
By comparison, Sunday was a quiet day. Toby took his flight test in the morning, before anyone else arrived at the field. Newly-soloed Mathias disappeared in the 2-33 for a couple of hours, and new member Phil Gerding flew PM for the first time.
Then the towplane went to Dean for maintenance, and we're hoping to get it back for some more flying before next weekend!

You forgot Kari flew to Twin Mountain (https://www.weglide.org/flight/1109251) and Patrick, Leslie, Jeff and Peter flew closer to home.
