New Pilot / Fun Day at Dockweiler

[Bob Kuczewski]

There's a special joy in observing a pilot's first hang gliding flight.

Way to go New Pilot!

Good job, BobK !

I just sent BobK this PM message:

Great!

Yeah, I'm planning on next Sunday Funday. It's not a good season for good chances of favorable winds there but I need to get out there and set up and put those little bungees on the straight battens. And maybe I'll get lucky and also have good wind. Greg has been holding the little bungees for me.

Hope JoeF will be there also. My Alpha will be available for anyone else to fly as usual (after the batten attachment mod is done).
