After recovering from some unanticipated down time, I'm happy to report that the club has put planes in the air almost every weekend over the last month. The weather has blessed us and the rains that swept through did soften the runways, but 28 stayed open.<br><br>One of the nice things about the late fall that compensates for the early sunset is just how pretty those sunsets can be. As we were putting the Blanik away last Sunday this is what we saw:<br><br><br><img src="$RootPath$/ImageHandler.ashx?schemaName=Blog&id=ab81b4eb-bf6d-4d5b-8ab2-3338f1bfa4c2"><br><br>Don't be scarce!

It looks like we can expect reasonably good conditions this weekend if the field does not get so wet that is gets really soft. Expect an email about the soaring conditions early on Saturday and on Sunday.<br><br>There is a last minute addition to our activity list for this Saturday (June 6). Pam is going to set up a pot-luck dinner featuring a Turkey. Please bring side dishes and be prepared for the "green room" culinary delights! <br><br/><table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr><td><a href="http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/06/05/7e2f1669-00d6-4c0b-a59d-679f9d783008.aspx">Comments (0)</a></td></tr></table>]]></description><link>http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/06/05/7e2f1669-00d6-4c0b-a59d-679f9d783008.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/06/05/7e2f1669-00d6-4c0b-a59d-679f9d783008.aspx</guid></item><item><title>The Scout is Flying!</title><pubDate>Monday, 27 April 2009 08:12:25</pubDate><description><![CDATA[Happy to report that on Sunday, the rebuilt engine Scout was tested again, and some adjustments made. Jeff made a brief pattern flight in the morning after which final adjustments were made. Jeff took a second flight in mid-afternoon that demonstrated the aircraft was ready to put into service. <br><br>Jeff and Jack took a 30 minute flight and turned the Scout over to Ray and Doug who made a longer flight that afternoon.<br><br>We need to put about 21 to 22 additional hours on the engine before the Scout can be used to tow. All club members are invited to fly. If you are not SEL rated and checked out on the the Scout, you can ask one of the rated pilots to go with you. A small hourly fee will be charged.<br><br>Jeff says he will be available in the afternoons this week so that anyone who wants to fly after work can help us get the towplane ready for glider operations by Saturday.<br><br>Hope you enjoyed the YouTube video on main page of the website!<br><br/><table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"><tr><td><a href="http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/04/27/e3d531bb-3080-4db6-a214-678bfec87b4e.aspx">Comments (2)</a></td></tr></table>]]></description><link>http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/04/27/e3d531bb-3080-4db6-a214-678bfec87b4e.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.atlanticsoaring.org/Blog/page1/2009/04/27/e3d531bb-3080-4db6-a214-678bfec87b4e.aspx</guid></item><item><title>Safety Day Activities</title><pubDate>Wednesday, 22 April 2009 08:18:05</pubDate><description><![CDATA[<div><span class="147524112-20042009"><font color="#000000" size="2">Thanks to
