Spring is here!! (finally)

The weather has finally broken and we were able to train the last four days in a row! Thursday was gliding down the sledding hill with Scott. Friday Matt A. made his first flights! Saturday morning I met Cole at the airport for a ton of wing handling training, including time with the non-running motor on his back. Brian stopped by with his lovely wife to brave the cold and check out the sport in person, he's already shopping for a motor! If all goes well they both will be flying sometime this summer. Saturday evening, past student Alex stopped by the hanger and a we took a nice cross country flight from the airport together. Sunday morning I met Dennis at Elver park and we worked on his forward and reverse launch skills, significant improvement was made. Sunday afternoon I drove the Madcity Paragliding rig to the park south of Oconomowoc to meet Paul where we also worked on his kiting skills. Paul also made great strides that day in the stiff breeze. Preston and his better half visited with us in Oconomowoc. There Matt W. and I treated them to their own private air show. We even gave them an encore per her excited request. Preston tried his hand at kiting and decided it's not as easy as it looks. To cap off the busy weekend Matt W and I made a short cross country flight to explore the area north of the park. I love my job!!
