MidIsland Extension Cord

Good afternoon, There is an extension cord plugged in that runs over to a box by the gate. This is powering the heat tape that keeps the water from freezing. Please do not unplug it. This request comes from MidIsland, thank you for your cooperation.

LISA Ground School

Good evening all, Due to weather conditions and lack of support staff this weekend, glider ops are cancelled. However, we will be hosting a ground school in the terminal building on Saturday from 6-7 pm. Topics will be focused on weather as it relates to sailplanes and aircraft. For those interested in attending, please reach out to me at 631-912-5107 or katelynerthal@gmail.com so that I may put together a roster. To compensate our CFI and the club, we will charge $10 per person. Please make sure to be at the terminal at 545, as we are limited to 7 pm due to terminal operating hours. Our CFI leading the class is David Restrepo, one of our more recent members, who is a CFII with a breadth of experience. Feel free to reach out with any questions and hope to see you there!
