I'm driving from Sebastopol to Hollister on Sunday 4/19 early to use the training hill and do some cable towing with Pat D. as a warm up for the season.
Call me if you're interested in going.

Bob Stanley and I showed up for a day of spring practice in Hollister. Bob and I got 8 tows between us before the wind switched. I hooked a rare thermal on my
last flight, and took it up over 7100 feet for a nice 1 hour flight in what felt like convergence. Higher and longer was definitely possible on this day, but I
launched unprepared for an extended flight, hungry and with no water. Pat Denevan says this is a site record for altitude gain. Yaa hoo!

John, that's awesome! Where were you? I was there talking to Bob in between practice flights in my new glider and didn't see you. I guess you were
too busy flying. Unfortunately I didn't get to see your flight as I had to leave @ 1:15 to get back to the north bay to take care of some new bee hives.
(didn't even get to tow cuz as you know, it was very busy and a bit slow)
I guess we'll catch you in the air or on the ground at the St. Helena fly in. Congrats! -Brian Padgett |
