Weekend Report: Nina tugs her Dad
Saturday
The students that missed Saturday's flying missed out on a great training day. Those of us who flew had a lot of fun and finished the day with Martin doing about two and a half hours, 8500' flight in a KA 8, to Tulbach and back! Gauntleteers eat your hearts out.
In fact the Grunert family did extremely well with Nina doing her first proper tugging duty - she even towed her father! Her flying was excellent and her landings put a lot of us to shame! Well done Nina!
Thanks to all the team that turned up on Saturday to do their duty and Rob Tiffin who changed from Sun to Sat to help out.
Commiserations go to Trevor Johnson who fell asleep at the wheel of his BMW and somehow survived the crash.
Sunday
Sunday was not off to such a good start with one of our instructors saying that he didn’t know he was duty. Come off it guys! The roster may sometimes be a little late, but this is crazy! It’s also irresponsible and you inconvenience a whole group of people.
The weather on Sunday was a great deal better that Saturday and we saw a whole group of single seaters and self launchers take to the skies.
Remember the “Cape Gauntlet with a difference” on Saturday. Remember also to book TODAY for the Saturday potjie with Wally Tamsen (084 774 7777).
