Tiger Moth pilot Charles, from Melbourne enjoyed flying with Eddie in the Blanik today. Although the winds were quite blustery they climbed to 7000 feet in strong lift.

Our new mobile weight for windy days!

Adam .

Great flying day!

Tom, staying in Tocumwal with his family for a few days holiday managed to find time for some flying in the SportStar with Eddie. Beautiful day here with top temp of 27.4.

Ingo and Michael head cross country

Michael did a cross country outlanding check with Eddie this morning then headed off with Ingo for further crosss country training this afternoon.

School holiday fun!

With the school holidays just beginning we have had many young visitors admiring the gliders. Jeremy and Sandy from Melbourne were in awe of the Jet Caproni while Geoff's grandchildren Adam and Mia are keen to become pilots just like Poppy.

Dust storm then beautiful soaking rain

Great to see Greg and family who dropped in for a chat prior to heading off for the school holidays. Ed continued with the Form 2 work on the Blanik oblivous to the dust storm outside. At present we are enjoying much needed soaking rain.

All hands on deck

Don had a busy day in the J160 flying with Julian and Jan. Bob's all ready for the season ahead after completing his check flight with Eddie in IUH. Great to see Graham who flew in for a cuppa on his way to Echuca. After spending the afternoon soaring Grant had plenty of helpers (Tim, Rolfe, Eddie and Ralph) when it came time to put his glider to bed!

Tim looking forward to a great season!

Tim, recently back from holidaying overseas called in today to take Ralph flying in the Maule. Tim can hardly wait for his next holiday which will be in Tocumwal of course - gliding and no doubt showing off his skills on the BBQ. Last season Tim's culinary expertise was only surpassed by his flying skills!

Summer is on the way!

A warm day with the mercury reaching 29 degrees. Yes Summer is definitely on the way. Mark's new Savannah drew admiring glances from Phil and Greg while Eddie couldn't resist taking it for a fly. Don went flying with Glyn in the J160. Ralph settled passenger Cameron into the IS28B2. Cameron had a fantastic flight and will be back for more!!

Welcome back Ralph

Great to see Ralph who enjoyed a few flights this afternoon in IUH with Eddie towing in the Maule. Ian also flew in for a cuppa in his home built Falco. Tom continued honing his skills in the SportStar.

See you in a month Dave

Dave spent a pleasant day in blue conditions with three long flights. He is now heading up to the Northern Territory for a month or so. Tom a glider pilot is converting to ultralights. He didn't want to come down as the conditions were perfect.

Three wise men???
