At least conditions at the moment appear OK. 6 knots to 12000' yesterday. Had to stop going up due to inquisitive student wanting to know more about oxygen!!
One idea is to have a small safari. Say take our winch 120km North to Aileron to overnight. 180 km East to Harts Range overnight. Maybe 300 km south west to Curtin Springs - possible flights around Ayers Rock - Mt Conner. Problem being that this takes EFFORT. As you well know John, the art is generating enthusiasm. Past aircraft that have lived up here are Leigh Buntings Grunau and JR's Olympia (I think). Are there other gliders still around that lived here? It was terrific to see at Queensland Comps last week, that Malcolm Tuit came second to his son in League 2. Malcolm is a founding member of ASGC. In our club room is a League 2 trophy that Malcolm won at the Narromine Nationals in 1962!!! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J Hudson Sent: Sunday, 2 October 2005 6:14 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.
