Friday was a good day.  There were three sailplanes in substantial lift over Coastal all afternoon, even at the same time.

Michael flew the white Blanik for a three-hour flight until his fun meter was pegged.

James flew the silver Blanik for a couple-hour flight.

Jody flew his Russia AC-4 for the first time for a couple-hour flight, as did Ralph.

Ralph and his friend Eugene worked on upgrades to our hangar space.
