Grounded.
My glider is grounded, awaiting it's annual inspection, which has had to
be put off until the 29th March.
I went for one last flight in it last Saturday. Over two hours of local soaring.
I didn't think conditions were quite good enough to go cross country.
A couple of the local heroes thought they would give it a go anyway.
I ended up have to retrieve Olgy and the club LS4 from near Ballarat.
Another late night when I had so wanted to get home from the airfield a
bit early for a change.
Fortunately Rolf just made it back in his PIK 20B. He was on the radio saying
he might have to land at Fiskeville because he didn't quite have final glide.
The best of the season is over now, I'm slightly disappointed that I only
managed to make two decent length cross country flights.
