Eight members attended the meeting this morning. We discussed the current scheduling system in an effort to ensure the instructor on duty can adequately cover the students signed up for the day. We also talked about the need for adequate ground ops personnel to run wings, etc. We grilled burgers at the end of the meeting, then club members took a dozen tows with Bill towing and Jerry instructing.
Tomorrow looks promising for flying. Hope to see you out there!
In one of the most reliable ways of ensuring rain next Saturday, NESA is planning to hold our monthly member meeting. The meeting will begin at 10 am. We will have a brief discussion, fire up the grill for burgers, then go fly.
Hope to see you out there!
Saturday we had some hot start issues with the Callair and ran the battery low. Putting it on charge did nothing. Sunday we finally figured out that the lightening on Friday fried the GFI sockets in the hangar and the issue was magically solved when we found and plugged the charger into the one socket that actually still worked! Duh. So, after a slightly delayed start Sunday proved to be a great soaring day and finally a lot of ships got out of their boxes..
FYI – Fridays lightening also took out the gas pump and the main gate. Hopefully both will be back in business for next weekend.
Here is a small sampling of photographs and a video from this weeks ACE camp. Thank you to all of the NESA folks who helped out – ACE Camp Wrap Up – 2023 | New England Soaring Association (flynesa.com)
