Blue Sky Sun07Oct : Towing-Palooza!

Post by markc »

Every possible mode of getting into the air via towing was to be had at Blue Sky today!

My pics of scooter-tow/foot-launch students early in the day didn't turn out... Ditto the truck-based cart tow that Greg S took early. Darn it, I'd hoped to capture them all!

But be that as it may, a few photos are enclosed below. Apologies for not having names for most, things were hopping!

Between Steve and Lisa I'm guessing that there were at least 15 pilots in the air today, from students to solos. Several of 'em stuck: John, Greg S, Peter K, Dan. And Joe G was still in the air when I hit the road. Several hour+ flights, and some to 3k or better if I heard right. Darn good day, for August in October :wink:

Mark,
Great picture and thanks for posting it.
Appreciate your write up.
To bad I could not be at Bluesky this weekend.
Hoping for some flying next Wed - Thur with more W-NW arriving.
To early to say now, but if interested, will be flying next week, if forecast are favorable.
Knut
