Been a lot of flights recently getting to 9K or better, if these strong conditions continue please be aware that there is a T-MOA in effect this month for F-15 training between 9,000MSL and 18,000 MSL (bottom of class A) as depicted on the above.
Wx is looking more optimistic for this weekend than it turned out for Memorial weekend. So, let’s give it another shot!
Cookout “After Flying”, bring whatever you want. We will have some basics – burgers/dog’s etc. available.
Please check your email and RSVP using the link provided to give us an idea of who’s coming. For COIVD precautions – please bring your own chairs so that we can spread out a bit while eating and don’t crowd the serving table. Thanks!
Hope to see a good turn out.
“5:30 aloft 9,000 ft. Mostly Very smooth lift. Flew as far as New London to the East and Okemo to W. Close to LEB. And S near Bellows Falls.”
The weather looks good for the weekend, so login and reserve your flying slot, and join us for the DIY BBQ this Saturday, June 5 at 5:00 pm.
This weekends weather is not cooperating for the holiday or the cookout. Given the likelihood that Sunday afternoon/evening will be cold and likely may involve some precipitation too, we have decided it is safer to postpone the cookout to next weekend. So (re)mark your calendars for Saturday June 5th after flying! We will still do some flying if possible as Wx permits.
Thanks.
We will have our first picnic of the season starting late afternoon Sunday of Memorial Day weekend (Middle day of 3 days flying weekend) so mark it in your planner.
Given the current state of the world, this will be something a “DIY” style event:
1) While we will have some basics available – burgers, dog’s etc. If that’s not your thing or you are not comfortable with that please bring whatever you want to throw on the grill.
2) We won’t be having a pot-luck with shared sides, so please bring whatever sides etc. you want for yourself and family;
3) We won’t be using the picnic tables etc. so please bring a chair so that we can spread out for social distancing.
Hope to see a good turn out for flying and our first “DIY” cookout event.
Third day in a row of 10k + altitudes. Amazing soaring these last few days. Unlike yesterday no snow at altitude today 🙂
Thanks to all who volunteered their time the last several days to get the NESA fleet on the flight line, and tow and instructor pilots current. Ben Berg flew with Mark Farley and was signed off and flew his first solo of the season. Andy Kozak accomplished his Flight Review with Mark and is good to go.
We’ve had a dozen inquiries from folks interested in soaring and becoming members, but have explained club members getting check outs and flight reviews are the club priority.
If you are in need of check flight(s) or a flight review, please contact one of the club CFI-G’s via email (available under the Member Resources” tab) to arrange a date and time.
We’re masking and distancing, but the last few days have seemed the most close to “normal” since 13 months ago.
Time to go fly!
With thanks to Brad and Calvin James, Jerry, Alasdair, Larry and Greg Hunter, we assembled the 1-26 and 1-34 today. Jerry towed and Greg took the 2-33 up for his third currency flight, then flew with Calvin. Charlie Freeman flew with the CAP’ers. Beautiful day to officially begin the season! Come out & fly!
Starting to look like a glider operation again 🙂 Happy Spring!
