The joy of gliding!!

It was a family affair when Emily (left) and husband Josh (right) along with Dad, Ian (below) all enjoyed flights with Eddie in the Blanik this morning. Ian returned to the thrill of gliding after a long break.

Sean (2nd bottom) and Ken (above) both had fantastic flights this afternoon with good conditions prevailing. Sean and family, camping on the outskirts of town noticed the gliders going up and down and Sean couldn't resist having a go. Ken's wife is playing golf all Easter so Ken took the opportunity to fulfill his dream of going gliding.

Happy birthday Alan!
