Flying Sunday 30 June 2013

Sunday morning dawned with a howling westerly and what looked like was going to be a circuit day if we were lucky. The conditions were quite interesting given Adelaide was calm and covered in thick fog! We started the day with a very small crew, Derek Spencer, Leigh, Sarah Allen and two AEF’s. Big welcome to Greg O’Grady and Leigh Killmier from the Adelaide Uni Waterski club! Both had 2 short flights and are keen to come back again.

Leigh showed us all how it was done with flight of the day of 40 mins, the next best being a measly 20 something! Derek scored the hangar run in the Astir and the day began to overdevelop and operations finished up around 2.30. An early finish but a pretty good day given how it started out.

Thanks to Derek and Leigh for driving the winch and Sarah for instructing.
