Tuesday 16th August - Course week

Happy 16th birthday Liam.
Dawned cloudy and drizzly with a circuit planning presentation by JB, before the cold front proper brought a clearance by lunchtime. After a photoshoot of the ground equipment for the new web site...watch this space....the course started flying.
Liam had a couple of check flights in the K13 before CFI Pete did up the straps in the back seat. There was a large gathering of family and friends to celebrate Liam's first solo. Liam joins the growing list of DSGC Juniors who have soloed on or close to their 16th birthday.

In the afternoon, cloudbase rose to the dizzy height of 2500ft and it was quite easily soarable locally and the course had plenty of flying. Liam enjoyed further solo flights including soaring 25 minutes.
