Andrew & Mike to fly GIB (Guy In the Back) in the "Oh No" Seat (also known as "the Pit" or the "Wizzo"; Pierre will fly the Tug in the front of the tow train (The Elevator); Andrew N, Noah S, Jerry P to fly middle seat, the "Deer in the Headlights" position. Meet from 9AM at the LISA club house, get the gliders ready when you arrive, don't wait for the Pawnee to get out, the Pawnee don't want to wait for you... the best soaring time will be from 9 to 15, after that the sky is going to turn to a milky soup at 9000 and above, broken clouds at 3500 making the CFIGs nervous and causing annoying flat light and dropping temperatures... it will be less fun. We may even have some small thermals up to 3kt at 1pm ish. One can also predict that Sunday will suck for flying.

Wayne Towing, Mike Hanson instructing… hopefully we get better winds conditions. Meet at 9am at the Clubhouse, at least to check the improved flight sim?

Found an extra David Clark HC 10 and NFlight Nomad Pro Aviation Microphone. Would like to give them away to a club member or a young aviator. Any interested members/aviators reach out to Adam Banks at adamabanks@gmail.com
