Aerotowing On Saturday 9/19/09

Good news!!  Rik has earned his AT sign off and is indeed going to tow us this Saturday 9/18/09.
Currently Sunday towing is not solid yet but we'll post something as soon as we know. Stay tuned!
Let's all get out there and get some airtime before it's too late this season.

See you in the air!

Today is a very sad day for WWHGC members. Our good friend and fellow pilot Roy Messing passed away this afternoon as a result of a hang gliding accident this past Monday. Roy had released after entering into a mild lock-out but did not regain control in time to set up for a proper landing.

Roy's family commented about how much he was enjoying his retirement now that he'd found hang gliding and all his new hang gliding friends at WW. Roy loved to fly and if you fly at WW you surely know that.

We will all miss you Roy, and your kind, helpful presence at the airport. It's your turn to soar in the best lift now buddy! Have a good one!

Thinking About New Launch Carts

There have been issues arise during this season over launch and transport carts and where on the airport they are located. Add to that the scarce means of transporting carts and gliders and I think we can say we need more means of transporting wings and pilots at TO.

Without taking names at this point, I would like to ask able-minded pilots to begin thinking along the lines of cart designs and supplies. We should have discussions to prepare for next season.

Later,

Twin Oaks Party This Weekend

I've been away from the computer for a while now, only to come back to disheartening news re flight operations this Labor Day weekend. Sorry, I honestly don't know what's going on.......YET!!

I do know however, there will be food and fire on Sat night and possibly Sun night. Let's get together for a couple evenings to say "hello" instead of "I'm next in line!"

See you at the airport this weekend.
