WSPA Seminar Wrap up

Well, it’s all over. Thanks to the many NESA, PMSC, GBSC, CAP and other volunteers who helped us pull of a sucessful week of fying and seminars. Hope everyone got lots of Wings credits!

Lot’s of great presenters and seminar topics – including Club Safety Culture, Mountain Wave Flying, Advanced X-C tecnique, EPIC flight stories, techniques for blue days to name a few. Presentations are available here.

A great team of instructors from NESA and GBSC and stellar XC mentors including Karl Striedieck, Roy Bourgeois, Rick Roelke and Kempton Izuno.

With the help of both the NESA and PMSC tugs we had 137 launches for the week (109 WSPA + 28 NESA) or 548 aircraft movements! Zero incidents and lots lots of folks getting to fly sailplane types new to them. We operated seven two seaters (2 x Duo Discus, 1 x Blanik L-23, 1 x K-21, 2 x SGS 2-33A and a PW-6U) plus many club and private single seaters. Bill even checked out several participants who got to fly in “003”, his 1-26 serial #3 which was assembled specially for the event.

The week finished out Friday night with a catered banquet held in one of the hangars.

Back to regular club flying next weekend – Sign up now!
