Saturday 4/25 Highland, Ridgely

Post by krryerson »

Going to try Highland tomorrow, Saturday 4/25. Primarily get some aerotowing in. Seems like light rain is not going to hit Ridgely before 6-8PM.
Saturday forecast looks like: light wind all day, hopefully not too much cloud cover and predicting increased cloud cover later in the afternoon.
Will call Highland tomorrow morning to check with Adam and keep you posted.

That's also my call for the day tomorrow. A bit stronger than I'd like for knocking off the aero-tow rust... But ya never know, so I plan to be there pretty darn early Sat AM.

Great day at Highland for practice towing and landing; though, did not fly like many others.
During pre-flight inspection, found a problem that needes to be fixed and parts already ordered.

Despite the less than ideal forcast Highland was great yesterday! Perfect for towing and landing practice which is exactly what I wanted. Mitch S. gave me a personal landing clinic and good objective feedback. Did a total of ten flights working on more consistent landing technique. I am getting in the groove, but there is more work to be done until I will be satisfied. Thanks again to Mitch, Sunny and Adam for their help. Bacil showed up later in the day and also provided excellent feedback and moral support.

Next weekend, Woodstock!
