Playing hooky at 47N
Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 9:50 pmI did actually feel a little piquish this morning when i called in sick (and I'd scored major Brownie points with a last-minute work call last night), but when Gus called to say they'd be flying today, I suddenly felt much better. 
Got two decent dual flights in myself- first real encounter with winds over 10 kts (in a glider); very interesting.
Had the little Canon with me as usual... and as usual 47N provided some subjects. Nice moon, too, as the afternoon wore on.
This Arrow was working the pattern...
First time I'd seen this Tri-Pacer moving, let alone flying.
Breezy partner Drew showed up in his work duds for a little "happy hour"...
...you ever get the feeling you were being followed...?
Gus and Jeremy on final in the 2-33...
Which was the last flight before his first solo!! Did a great job off a 1500-foot tow; very nice approach and landing.
We immediately launched him on another, after which he got congratulated and doused with water. And Gus cut his shirt... that's what happens to precocious 14-yr-olds around here...
