Fun and Work at Sylmar
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 11:44 amI had a nice flight at Sylmar on Wednesday. The traffic was tough on the drive from San Diego, but Joe was kind enough to hold the truck for me.
I flew one of Joe's Falcon 3's. Check out this paint job!!
I flew for over 2 hours in some great thermals ... and some not-so-great knee hangers. The knee hangers were fine for the first hour, but they started hurting my legs during most of the second hour. But not enough to come down.
I stayed over night for a work party on the new gazebo the next morning. I helped with a few of the glider bay concrete pours before a friend invited me for breakfast. Here are a few more photos.
Sylmar is a great club with lots of cooperation. I've been a member since I started flying again in 2004, and I renewed my membership again during this visit. Thanks to all the folks who keep that club running.
