Club meeting at 9aM, meet at the LISA Clubhouse After that, we should fly some gliders: Andrew Apicos - Instructor / Pierre + Brez - Tow
The Pawnee seems to be pissing oil more than normal, the folks decided to stop towing with it today. Unless we find something obvious to fix this tomorrow morning, it is highly likely we cannot tow with it until a proper A&P mechanic takes a closer look. If you're a current private pilot of current solo student signed off on the 1-26, I can give you a tow with the SuperCub, but there is a good chance this is the best we could do this Sunday, unfortunately. Don't beat the chief of Maintenance up, the folks at Jersey Soaring in Blairstown NJ can't get a break either, their Pawnee has lost 3 cylinder studs on 2 cylinders and are grounded as well, for the one weekend they didn't have a TFR over their head (while Donny is going to kiss Vlad's ring in Alaska). I'd say, it's going to be a good beach day instead. Cheers
9AM at the LISA Clubhouse, prep the gliders from 9AM Shawn Simms will be in charge on instruction + guests Katelyn will be "Air Boss" / fieldmanager / controller :-) Pierre can tow from 9AM, and Wayne said he wants to fly too. Let's go!
