The March issue of “Out of the Blue”, the club newsletter, is here (PDF,54 kB).

News of students going solo, the club’s Annual General Meeting, and some reminders about safety in ground operations.
Coming soon: airspace changes, check-flight weekend, working bee.

21 launches. Lots of passenger rides for Craig’s friends in the K21 and the Duo. Training for John Ridge and Michael Conway in the K21. Peter Paine went to Blanchetown, Burra and Wanbi (I think). Cloudbase was better than 11,000′ and there was a big troughline over Waikerie. Mark Newton flew the Libelle from Stonefield to Waikerie and back. (Mark says: “There was some absolutely gorgeous streeting at ten grand in that area. I was doing 80 kts indicated with 7 kts on the averager at one stage.”)

GREAT party Sat night, put on by Craig Vinall to celebrate his birthday. Thanks Craig. Lots of people from Craig’s family, work and gliding.
