My Flying

Today was an interesting day, and even though I never flew (don't ask why, as I can't explain) I had a good time. I was on winch duty and helped train a new guy for this exciting, and often yawned upon and forgotten, duty.

We had plenty of winch launches and a few aerotows and most the guys managed to hang around for a while using the weak lift on the ridge.

There was even a flight in a rare BS1 that was recently acquired by one of our members.

It was a very hard day's work, what with launching gliders, repairing cables, towing the cable back to the launch point and even retrieving the odd glider or so.
