Ben Berg PIREP — 8,700′ and 1,000 fpm ^ today

Junior member Ben Berg, who soloed last year at 14, snapped this photo from his solo afternoon flight today. Piloting the NESA 1-26 and releasing from tow about 3000′ MSL, Ben thermalled up to 8,700′ MSL and flew for 2-1/2 hours “…only cause I had to land. Took me a while to get down once I pulled full airbrakes at 6,000′ over the airport.”

Bill D and Colby v K flew today, as well.

Thanks to Alasdair for CFI-G’ing, and Bob Iuliano for towing.

If you haven’t already, logon to the club scheduling calendar and get back in the air!
