The day got better and better. In the morning I wrote my blog and then at 10.30am went over to the launch point to help out. I ferried trial flight customers between the office and launch point. My turn to fly came mid afternoon. I had 3 flights, winch launch training, I need to get familiar with that. After so many years of getting into the air behind the tug, winching is a real culture change for me. Winching is really a simple way to get up into the air, but as it all happens in few seconds, one must monitor 100% all the way up.
We have here a retired man whose hobby is to come here and cut the grass. He does not fly. Today he was here 8hrs just driving the tractor. "It takes 30hrs to do the whole airfield" he said. He also told me that the other day on trial flight customer screamed the whole winch launch. She had another flight and screamed again! Surprise, surprise, she liked it!
Tomorrow does not good weather wise. Not Thursday. Friday looks better. Hopefully the week end will be sunny and warm. We have the Air League -weekend, lots of people here to fly and have fun, more about that later on.
Yes, I had a good day, 2 flights for half an hour each and third one just few minutes. I am getting so much more familiar with it. Next thing will be to start doing launch failures.
